It's all about persevering. You know you're going to be tested. If you keep your eyes fixed on Christ, He's going to reward you.

If you keep your eyes fixed on Christ, He's going to reward you.
I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life's not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.
Every test, every trial, every heartache that's been significant, I can turn it over and see how God has turned it into good no matter what.
Developing Christlike attributes in our lives is not an easy task, especially when we move away from generalities and abstractions and begin to deal with real life. The test comes in practicing what we proclaim.
I know it's an experience that I need to have if God's putting me through it.
God cannot use you as He wishes until you come into the fullness of His Glory. Do not get alarmed, my friend, when doubts creep in. That is old Satan. Pray, pray, pray.
When trouble comes, focus on God's ability to care for you.
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won't.
When you are in the midst of suffering you are looking for someone to be Jesus to you. You are looking for someone to love you and help take care of you, and reach out to you.
Human beings are pampered by the Lord. Their real tests don't come until later in life.
