In the Christian life there are times of mountaintop experiences where everything is going great. Then there are the periods where everything seems dark and difficult. The Lord is there in the good times and the hard times.
Maybe it is loss of income, death of a loved one, failed marriage, illness or many other things that come upon everyone as we journey through life. These are the times that our true faith and Christian character show through. A time when we should draw closer to God and trust in Him to bring us the through the valley. God is merciful and He teaches us how to become more like Jesus through our trials. If you are going through a trial today, ask The Lord to give you strength, hope and courage to get you beyond this hardship and help you grow in Christ. Remember, He is right there with you helping you to carry that burden.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
