1 Peter 1: 3-7
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
We are not promised an easy or pain free life while we are here on this earth. God has a plan for each one of us and while we are here it may include going through things
that are uncomfortable. We must keep sight of Gods promise for us and that our faith is worth more than gold! I want to encourage you to keep seeking God and trust in his plan because this life is only temporary but our life in heaven will be forever!
