I was watching a movie we had chosen at random called Trying Grace, which, we thought, turned out to be an excellent movie. I took the following from the film. God spoke this to a pastor:
“Everyone will bear their own cross in their own appointed time. This is your time. Don’t allow your testimony to get lost in your test. Stay faithful.”
As further explanation, the pastor said, “God had me. He carried me. Not because I deserved it, but because I had been in pain. We all had pain, though. He carried me because I stayed faithful.”
I won’t give away the movie; below is a link. Blessings, all.
