Been a Christian does not mean that hard times will not come.
Been a Christian does not mean you are automatically successful.
Been a Christian is perhaps the most difficult job you may have taken up to do.
But it is something worthwhile because you gain more than you loss.
It comes with free packages of Grace.
Then there is the gifts of the spirit for edification.
The ultimate of eternal life is also just waiting for you to fight the good fight and come for your crown.
And so when times get hard, and things become tough and negative thoughts start to creep in.
Remember that even the son of Man thus suffered and so if you will take up your cross it bound to happen however look at the silver lining and smile knowing that God's got your back.
