Saturday, July 31st. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

“Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds you down or polishes you up depends upon what you are made of.” (Unknown)

In this life, we will face situations that wear on us. That pressure is not necessarily going to be something we do or did, but sometimes as a child of God, we are going to face trials.

The writer of 1Peter 4:12-14 gives us these words of encouragement:

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.“

"God, thank You for not only understanding our struggles, but for being here with us.
Amen."

God loves you!
