I personally don't know anyone who is not being tried and tested right now. It is vital that we learn to look at our circumstances the way our Lord does. When we hurt, we can lose perspective. And when we lose perspective, we can faint in our minds. Grapes have to be pressed to have juice, or wine.
Roses have to be crushed in order to let out their fragrance.
And we have to be pressed and crushed if we are to grow to be like Him. These days we have no guarantee of anything, outside of God and His promises. We have to trust Him as never before. We must be willing to submit to God as He crushes and presses us. Most of us have learned to do that-or are learning to.
