This suffering we experience to me is nothing compared to not knowing Him, believing His promise, appreciating His sacrifice and best of all knowing Him more every day. I don't want to minimize what each of us experience in our trials and tribulations but knowing the reason for this purification process should be a source of joy. We are being formed into Sons and Daughters of the Almighty God!
Praise our Lord and His (and our) Father!

I wholeheartedly agree! During our trials and tribulations, we have something SOLID to hang on to. What a blessing to have this knowledge. :)

Joe, that was so inspiring! I think in one way or another we can all relate to your experience. We all have the notion that whatever is wrong with us we can find the answer to it in the physical, tangible, and in our own power! We have all been victims of our own egos and it is very frustrating when you look in the mirror and find that person looking back is pitiful and powerless! When we realize that this is the way God deals with us, we are relieved to hand our lives over to him! I'm glad that as I used to hear my dad say, "I will bring you down a notch or two" God uses these things to humble us and teach us, may we be open to learn!!
Thank you for that :D
Kathy :)

Sweet post, Joe.
I also have the sense that all my life has been preparation to recieve the Gospel. I can't help but believe now that all of EVERYBODY'S life (all those pesky 'other people') is also designed to make them ready, no matter what circumstances our super-abundantly Creative God has laid out for them. God bless you by continuing to mold you into the image of His Beloved Son, in whom He is well pleased.
