I too am in the midst of a trial and it is hard when you don't know what the outcome will be. But I believe that's where we grow in faith. Our Lord knows the outcome and He has a purpose and a plan for us. <br /><br />I was waiting in a resale bookstore yesterday. I had brought in my boxes of books to sell and I sat down and grabbed a book to glance through.<br /> <br />It "happened" to be an Elisabeth Elliott book and it was on the purpose of suffering. I wrote down something I read on the back of a piece of paper in my purse.<br /><br />"Suffering creates the possibility of growth in holiness." And then I scribbled ...must be open to the training; what I am to learn.<br /><br />It's interesting that my theme for this year is trust and obey. And my verse is Philippians 4:6-7. My desire has also been to grow in holiness. <br /><br />Well the Lord is giving me my desire but not in a way I would prefer. Suffering and trials are not easy but they are the way to growth as we trust and obey.<br /><br />Love,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277715203048174179.post-89492666071906283452010-01-20T16:29:23.639+10:002010-01-20T16:29:23.639+10:00It's Ok to be in pain and to be hurting.

He understands what you are feeling and going through.He will bring you through whatever He asks you to do. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
