Well said my - brother or sister? in the Lord. I only wished you did not have to hide under the veil of "Guest".

WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT WE ARE TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE WEAK AND EDIFY ONE ANOTHER TO GIVE GOD THE GLORY.

At one point or another most of us have experienced trials, they are a part of our Christian journey. No one no matter how rich, powerful, good or bad is exempt from going through trials and tribulations. When times get so rough we find our selves asking God if our troubles will ever end. We find ourselves wondering why things don't seem to be working out for us, or why God has allowed these things to happen to us. This is when we have to remember that God loves us and he wants the best for us, he hears our faintest cry. No matter what hardship we're experiencing in our lives God has not forgotten about us. We've got to understand that going through trials is not by any means meant to punish us. God from time to time allows us to go through trials and tribulations in order for us to become stronger, and to gain spiritual enrichment through our experiences. Trails tend to bring out the person whom we truly are deep down inside. Going through trails is meant to soften our hearts and gives us compassion towards others who are in the same or worse situation than ourselves. Trails bring humility and open up our minds to our dependency on God and the purpose that he has for us. They put us in a place where the only person who we can rely on and turn to for help is God. Trials give us the opportunity to turn our sufferings into testimonies that give God the glory. Trials help us realize that there is much more to life than fulfilling our own selfish desires. They remind us that God is in control of our lives. They stop us from being self centered individuals, and instead help us to turn to God and make him the center and focus of our lives. Once we allow God to be the center of our lives everything begins to fall into place, and it's at that point when we can begin to experience peace even in the midst of our troubles.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
