during the hardships and trials...

As i was doing my devos today, here in Wisconsin, I came across this passage which i seemed to have forgotten...
It was really challenging to me to think about and put into practice myself...

2. Corinthians 6
We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

I hope that when those tough times come around I will remember those promises God has for me and that even though life will seem impossible sometimes i need to remember that by the Holy Spirit and sincere love God will provide!!
