"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead even though you have to endure many trials for a little while." 1 Peter 16
We all face trials in life. These trials are those mountains that seem like we can't climb or those holes that we feel are too deep to get out of. But, even though these trials may seem hard and they may seem like they are impossible to overcome, God has a plan for all of these setbacks. He is going to turn them into stepping stones leading to a great and wonderful life. You just have to endure the hardships and don't let them knock you down, but let them make your faith stronger.
I love that God put "for a little while" and that He promised there will be wonderful joy ahead. It gives us hope and vision of what's waiting in the finish line. And it gives us strength knowing that whatever trial we're going through right now, it won't last.
