It's easy to love God when he just gives us everything we want but what if we go through some difficult times? Do we actually cling to Him for that? Do we draw near in faith to Him? 

The person that makes it through; the one that doesn't just freak out & curse God & ditch Him. The one that actually perseveres during the trials. 

There's something about trials that strengthens us. 

He says the one that receives the crown of life is the one that loves Him & the person that loves Him is the one who endures during trials.
 
Trials can actually be a good thing;  it causes us to think differently about life & to not take any day for granted. It gets us to cherish life & pursue God. 

Let's not take for granted that we may have tomorrow. Let's make the most of everyday. Our lives can end in any second & this can be our last day on earth. We have to start figuring out what comes after this.

Find God & know Him & anything that would cause us to find Him is a huge blessing no matter how painful it is. 

I have met many people that have met God during the difficult times of their lives as they were trying to figure it out - they found God. ❤
