Praise God that you bear that name!

I know what you're all thinking, two post I one day?? Lol Yes God is putting it on my heart to write so I'm writing. Tonight God placed it on my heart to read 1 Peter. The particular scripture that stood out to me was (1 Peter 4:16 NIV), "However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name."

Do no be ashamed or embarrassed of the fact that you are going through a test or trial. Continue to praise God through every situation or obstacle. You are a Christian and saying and living it is not going to stop the devil from attacking you. I am here to tell you that there is so much purpose for your pain. When We are going through a trial God is trying to teach us a lesson. God uses pain for purpose verses pleasure. God isn't allowing all these things to happen to us and Him leave us there. He is always with us.

So you maybe having a bad day, night, week, month whatever. Keep praising God! He hears you and He loves you like crazy. Sometimes I have to remind myself, "My God loves me so much that He will never leave me. So no I may not see the end of the road or purpose now but I trust God with my life and my whole heart. He got me."

Hope this helps somebody tonight that maybe going through.
