"10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown." Revelation 2:10
I feel like this verse is screaming at me right now.. Every time I come home I stress out so much over my family's financial situation to the point where I'm about to break. Sometimes it causes so much tension among us and all I can do is ask God "Why??".. I have my ups and downs and sometimes my mood is good enough to endure it and other times it just hits me- hits me hard. I'm so grateful for the things I have- because I can definitely be much worse off than this.. but it's getting really difficult for my mom to make ends meet and she's trying to be so strong for us but I can see the pain and sadness in her eyes sometimes. I guess these are the times when I need to be faithful- through times of struggle and suffering. Praising God and rejoicing in His power and persevering in the hope that we have for when Christ returns.
