Trials

[Preacher Jim]

The devil wants our trials to bring out the worst in us.
God wants our trials to bring out the best in us.

That is quite insightful.
Kudos for this insight.
God Bless You

Thank you Jim , I completely agree .

Amen to that. Job was a man who knew this well. "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." Job 13; 15

Very good thought Pastor Jim. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (Jesus). John 10:10.

Amen, Jim! And that's what makes you such an inspirational person and preacher! I believe you could look the Devil in the eye, and spit on his shoes! You're a real inspiration, because you have what Shelby Foote called "3 o'clock in the morning courage." You KNOW salvation, and that it's yours, and you have NO doubts! This gives you the pluck to face anything this world can throw at you, and no matter what it is, you'll be an inspiration to many, many others! it's what I admire most about you, I think. Keep up the work, my friend. It's sorely needed these days. Inspirations aren't a "dime a dozen" any more!

[GhostHawk]

Amen!

Indeed despair and depression can and no doubt will rob many of salvation.

Stay strong, stay in the Lord's will, stay on the path. Keep your spirits high and remember those less fortunate than ourselves.

Stand FAST preacher.
