These trials come to make you stronger...

♪♫ "When the waves are taking you under. Hold on just a little bit longer. He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger. The pain ain't gonna last forever. And things can only get better. Believe me. This is gonna make you stronger. Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger. Believe me, this is gonna make you Stronger."  -Mandisa

~ James 1:2-4 NIRV, "My brothers and sisters, you will face all kinds of trouble. When you do, think of it as pure joy. Your faith will be put to the test. You know that when that happens it will produce in you the strength to continue. The strength to keep going must be allowed to finish its work. Then you will be all you should be. You will have everything you need."

~ A diamond in the rough has its pretty qualities. BUT, when it is put in the hands of a master, it is put under pressure, cut and shaped. Until at last, it becomes a beautiful gem that glistens in the light. We all have trials and tough times. And, I know that some of my friends are facing some real tough times lately. The words I have for you is...just trust your life in the hands of an all-powerful Master. Let him shape you into a beautiful masterpiece that shines in the light of His grace & mercy. ♥
