Trials...
Chastening of the Lord:
"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands made whole."
---Job5:17-18---
"My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction; For whom the Lord loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights."
---Proverbs3:11-12---
"My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives."
---Hebrews 12:5-6---
At times God just allow us to go through trials to allow us to conform to be more of what He desires us to be.... Nevertheless, we will never find it nice...
"The end of a thing is better than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."
---Ecclesiastes 7:8---
However, we can always look forward for the end product...that's having our character change...
"And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perserverance; and perserverance, character; and character, hope."
---Romans 5:3-4---
Nothing comes easy...and God is interested in our Character not our comfort....However,what can makes us feel comforted of is that He will be there to lead us through...
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness"
---2 Corinthians 12:9---
