1 Peter 4:12-13
Dear friends, don’t be surprised when the fiery ordeal comes among you to test you, as if something unusual were happening to you. Instead, rejoice as you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may also rejoice with great joy when his glory is revealed.
Jesus didn’t promise that following Him would be easy, or safe, or the solution to all your troubles and cares. However, He did promise to always be with you, provide for you, and, best of all, give you an eternal home with Him!!
