We can find HUGE consolation in the fact that God knows us all by NAME and is praying for us, specifically that our faith will NOT fail. After our tests and trials, we are able to STRENGTHEN and COMFORT others. Like precious metal refined in the heat of a furnace, something happens TO us and IN us when we face our trials that cannot be produced in any other setting or context. We are made stronger to ENCOURAGE and strengthen others. Let us each be diligent to face our tests and trials but not become distracted or side-tracked, so that we fall short of our best possibilities. 🙏🏼
