A TOUGH

QUESTION

Have you faced difficulties in your life?

This is a question to which I think we can all answer “Yes.” But do you
know how to overcome those difficulties in a way in which you can
grow spiritually, knowing the Lord better than before?

In many trials, choose to look at them as tests from the Lord. When we
face problems, instead of asking, “What is going on in my life?” we
can recognize it as an opportunity to become stronger in the Lord.

Although our flesh doesn't like it, suffering is granted to us if we
choose to live a godly life and serve the Lord. It is not only for the
missionaries on the mission field. This is a gift to every believer.

When it says in 1 Peter that Jesus suffered for us and that we must
follow in His footsteps, it is not just talking about the cross. It's talking
about His life, His daily choice to endure inconveniences and
difficulties in order to do the Father's will, not His Own.

I am personally convinced that if someone's Christianity is shallow, it
is mainly because the cross is missing from their faith and they don't
want suffering and sleepless nights. But it is here that we can miss the
precious opportunity our God is putting before us. If you are given the
opportunity to embrace suffering, please do it.

How can we make it? By walking in humility. It is a sure means to
receive God's grace. He gives grace to the humble but opposes the
proud.

My friend, just as God is moving mightily in Asia, He can move
mightily in your heart. He wants to know you just as He longs to know
the millions of lost souls. I encourage you to trust Him, and you will
see and experience great and wonderful things!
