Time - Trial. How ...A time of trial is just that. Time - Trial. How long, only God knows. As for the lesson . . . . you may not know what this was for untill you are on the other side of it. I recall a time when I went through what I thought were the trials would not stop and each seemed more difficult that the last. one very difficult trail was a church split. It was in the midst of the church split that I knew without a doubt that the previous trials had prepared my prayer life and my resolve to be able to be of use to God and the church. Little did I know at the time that the bond and learning there prepared me for the loss of my first grandchild through abortion. It gave me the strength to not turn my back on my daughter and loose both her and the grandchild.<BR/>What I guess I am trying to say here is for you to not focus on the hardship of the trial period, but on being open to what it has to bring to you. Being thankful that God takes the time to refine and prepare you. While it won't make the difficulties go away, it will allow you the opportunity to become what God needs you to be.One Sidedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082142283281027095noreply@blogger.com
