When you go through difficult times, make sure you pass the test. Donโt be stubborn and hardheaded. Recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges. Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith. God has called each of us to be champions; you are destined to win. If you will work with God and keep a good attitude, then no matter what comes against you, the bible says that all things โ not just the good things in life, but all things โ work together for your good.
