Mark Driscoll on Trials - 1 Peter 1:3-9
"Its not that we love pain, its that we LOVE JESUS
and if pain is what is necessary to be MORE LIKE HIM and to have MORE of HIM
then we REJOICE in the PAIN because in the END WE GET JESUS...
we get to be WITH HIM and we GET TO BE LIKE HIM and our FAITH is PURIFIED and we REJOICE IN THAT!!"
PRAISE GOD with me saints as we all learn to walk with the one who has not promised to fix all our problems BUT has promised to walk with us through Them!!
oh! I think I feel a shout coming on!!! ( LOL- always wanted to say that)
Have Thankful Day!
