What is the purpose of struggles and difficulties we all go through?

G Shepherd

June 2010

My time in the desert on vacation, has been a time to reflect on the past few years of my life. 

 Why the difficulties and struggles. 

 Friday's (6-4-10 ) reading 2 Timothy 3:10-17 has given me somethings to think about as I look back on the struggles of the past few years, being moved from one parish to another. 

 Why should I not expect struggle and persecution? 

 Is it not a part of the Christian way?

 

Anyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ can expect to be persecuted.

 

It is through many persecutions that we must enter the Kingdom of God (Acts 14:22)

 

Help me Lord to see the value of struggles and persecutions that I meet and not to be scandalized by them and to truly know they are the way to the Kingdom.
