A lot of time God allowed situation in our life to prove if we will endure to the end. A lot of christian are faced to difficulties, we complain and murmur and we even sometimes regret being a christian. But as the bible says no cross no crown.
Jesuse has gone throught a lot for our sake and he endure to the end, because it was for a purpose. There are times we go throught situaion God knows why, because at times there are things in our life that is hindering a closer walk with the Lord, and inorder for us to do it, God has to remove the dregs that is hindering us from serving him. God seeks not to ruin us, but to increase our value. His desire is to separate from us anything that would detract from our worth and make us ever more useful in service to him. So when we are going through trials, remember it is a reason and if we endure we will come our as pure gold.

Absolutely brilliant! well said. I definitely needed to hear that again. It is true that we sometimes lose patience with God but he is always there for us and will never leave us or forsake us. I like the way Paul puts it in Romans 8:18 " I consider that the sufferings of the present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."
Just as the potter and the clay in the book of Jeremiah chapter 18, God is molding us into his own image so that we can be strong and pure before him.
God bless you for bringing this up. I think people today need to hear this over and over again. cheers
