When life feels hard and you’ve been praying for things to get easier, it’s easy to wonder if something’s gone wrong. But someone recently reminded me that giving your heart to Jesus doesn’t save you from trouble – it saves you from sin.
That doesn’t mean the trials stop, but it does mean we face them with a peace that doesn’t make sense to the world. Jesus said it Himself in John 16:33: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
That’s where hope lives.
