#10. Trials and Joys

We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.
(Acts 14:22)

Life is about “getting through” the trials and troubles that are inevitable in our sinful world.
For those who have chosen God’s way and know from experience that it’s “the most excellent way” (1 Corinthians 12:31), for you will persevere even when you have to go through any difficulties.

As sure as night, life’s troubles come,
As sure as day, they’re past;
But surer still that endless joy
When heaven we reach at last.
~D. De Haan

Earth – the land of trials;
heaven – the land of joys.

The joy that awaits us will make our temporary discomfort worthwhile.
