God tests us by trials and troubles. The Lord Jesus said in the world we were going to have trouble, and James said that, and now Peter comes along and says that. And Paul said that. And may I say to you, do you know that the way God is going to improve you and me is by suffering? That’s not popular. And so today we have to have a lot of things to encourage us that we’re somebody and we’re going to be somebody. My friend, we’re nothing until the Spirit of God begins to move in our hearts and lives. We have nothing to offer to God. He has everything to offer to us, and He’s going to improve us.
