Ever wonder if we can trust God when life gets tough? Reading 1 Peter 4:12-13 hit me ' struggles are part of the deal. Peter says, tough times aren't weird; they're a chance to share in what Christ went through. And that joy? It gets even bigger when Christ shows up in glory.
Life's not always smooth, and Peter says it's okay if you can't see the point right away. Just trust there's a purpose, part of God's big plan for us.
Hope you're not facing a tough time, but if you are, you're not alone. The Bible says God cares about what's bothering us; He wants us to share it.
