Trials And Glory

"Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed." 1 Peter 4:12-13 ESV

God can take the trials of our lives and turn them into glory for Him if we will allow it. When going through difficult times, try to look at the situation as a refining of your faith. God didn't make the trial happen, but that He allowed it and can use it to show He's in control because He is God.
