Make me better!

1 Peter 4: 6-7 6 So be truly glad.There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. 7These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. 

1:6 Or So you are truly glad.Life is wonderful. I know there are many out there who can NOT imagine they are living a wonderful life. Your hope is in these verses. Your trial will not last. There is an end to this "season" in your life. There will be joy in the morning. I, too, have gone through trial and yes I survived. I not only survived, I thrived and can say without any hesitation, I have loved my life. I have loved every moment and realize the trials and stresses have been worth it. They have made me who I am. As followers of Christ, we need the trials to purify our faith and help us to realize the power of our wonderful savior. 

Praise God for his wonderful LOVE. Praise God for my life and all that has come together to create me and bring me to this day. I love you Lord and turn my life over to you, everyday. Use me for your purposes. If you desire that I endure trials and pain, I trust you. You know what I need. You know where I need to grow. You know how to purify me until the day I get to praise you forever in eternity. Amen!
