Living the Christian life doesn't mean things will always go well with us, but the big thing is that when bad things befall us, we have Jesus to turn to for comfort and solace. The truth is that when we begin to live for Christ, many people will likely turn against us, and many unfortunate things may befall us, but we don't need to worry, because God has promised to work everything out for us eventually, if we keep on living in faith. No, living the Christian life on this earth, has never been, and will never be easy with the enemy and his many evil cronies always trying to get us off track. But if we keep close to Jesus, and do our best, He will help and eventually reward us with the crown of life. And that's certainly something to look forward to! Much LOVE!
