Jesus told us we would have tribulations. He did not say we might have tribulations. We have a choice to grow closer to God in our tribulations, or to blame God for our tribulations. No one enjoys hard times, but most people, when looking back on our lives can say assuredly, that the tribulations led us to Triumph, by making us stronger and more resilient. We must be strong to stand up for what is right and true, in a world filled with so much deception and error.
