When life gets tough, trust in the Lord and stay faithful to Him...
Trials can throw the toughest blows at a Christian sometimes. But the comfort is, every true Christian must and will go through these times. One should really be down if he finds life easy and life in this world to be ultimately satisfying. This is a sign that something is very wrong. As James 1:2-3 (NASB) says, "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance."Therefore, we see that these trials are actually meant to test our faith. If we are not tested in this way we lose our endurance. So the very things that seem to hurt us the most as Christians actually draw us closer to Christ and strengthen our faith and trust in Him. What a tremendous blessing this is! In Christ, Josh

That is so true Josh. It's easy for me to think that life should be easy and get upset when it isn't, but you are so right. When it is easy, we SHOULD be examining. Thanks for the reminder in posting that post!
