Faith

"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold - though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world." ~ I Peter 1:6-7

I read this verse last night after hearing part of it on a tv show. It touched me so that I can't get it out of my mind. We've been through many trials over the past 2 years, and yet we are still going through more. I wondered why things were happening...when could I finally take a deep breath, a sigh of relief. Though I believe my faith has remained strong through most of it, I have my moments of weakness. I know many people are going through some trying times right now. My prayer is that you remember these verses and keep the faith. I will pray that for me, too. I will also remember that God has already given me great joy in the midst of the trials.
