Blessings in Christ

Heidi:
Ricco, I rejoice in times of tribulation because I know then that God loves me.  When going through a time of great difficulty start thinking "how can I overcome", ask God to help you to spot the spiritual truths that He is trying to teach you while going through it.  Remember, Satan is a tool that God uses, don't give him any more power than just that.  I sometimes think that people try and consentrate so much on trying to spot the devil that they fail to see God's lesson.

Heidi:
I found this scripture while reading another post but fits in well with your question:

II Thessalonians 1: 3-12

3-We are bound to thank God always for you, brothers, as it is meet, because that your faith grows exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other abounds;

4-So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:

5-Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:

Ricco:
Thank you all for making me feel so welcome.
God bless you
