How Can I Learn to Embrace Trials?

1 Peter 4:12-13

Lisa Hughes

Trials aren’t easy. They are meant to test us. Some are just uncomfortable while others leave us bruised and battered in heart. Our attitude toward trials is that we just want them to go away so we can go back to “normal” life. And the idea of actually embracing trials is a completely foreign concept.

Embracing a trial carries a lot with it. It means acceptance. It means trust. It means agreeing that the trial is good for us in some way. It means to actively choose to live by faith.
This is radical living, ladies.
This is courageous living.
This is following Christ living.
This is the Christian life.
It’s what God has called us to.
