God never promised that we wouldn’t have challenges. In fact, He said just the opposite. His word says, ‘Be truly glad!...these trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure…’ so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of His return.

When you go through difficult times...recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges.

I try to look on all the great things God's done, and not focus on the negative. It's a perspective.

God made you a masterpiece - be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.

Your life is too valuable to waste being distracted.
