Suffering: part 3 of 10

1st PETER 1:7
That the testing of your faith, being much more precious then gold that parishes, though it be tried by fire, might be found unto the praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. . .


Like today's verse implies -what is hidden in our hearts will one day rise to the surface for all to see- and when we are found this way -we will be just like JESUS our LORD - Our lives should bring God glory now and forever more -its all about HIM and not about us! Sometimes God allows pain to reveal to us what is in our hearts- He does not do this for HIS benefit - since He already knows what's inside- He knows us better than anyone - for it was He that made us - our lives are HIS - it all belongs to HIM and is all from HIM and all of it is for HIM - When pain comes into our lives -what is hidden deep in our hearts comes out so we can see- sometime we see what we are actually lacking -and at other times we are surprises at just what is in our heart- things that should crush us - now only make us stronger- one thing I can relate this too is the weather here this spring -it was very warm far to early in the year and the trees - bushes and all the other flowers and plants all came out like it was time to leaf out - all the while a freeze was heading our way - many plants lost their battle with the freeze and died - some survived but are stunted - others that we also zapped by the freeze have come back better then ever -Ive been watching the process unfold - some of the plants are doing better then others- the freeze showed us the true character of each plant - the same is true of our spiritual lives -God must allow certain things to come into our lives in order for those things to be unlocked - so if you are going through a trial you don't understand right now -don't worry -one day it will all make sense - until then - lets keep looking up! hat is hidden deep within - will come out when tried by fire!

A SIDE NOTE:
There are things deeply hidden in our hearts that God uses trials to bring them out of us! Lets follow JESUS no matter where HE leads us - if we are with HIM we are always home! Home sweet home! amen!

in CHRIST the hidden things are revealed!
