Luke 21:13
It will lead to your giving testimony.
I'm a fan of woodworking°like a big fan. What I've learned is that the wood which is more beautiful, intricate and stronger is the wood which came from trees which endured more difficulties, traumas and adversity. Today Jesus informs his disciples that following Him will not be easy, that occasions will come when we will have to give testimony to Him. Those moments in the home, workplace or school where we endure difficulty because of our faith is exactly that moment where our faith can be strengthened—where we can grow in holiness, strength and beauty. May we respond with faith to those moments where we are lead to give Testimony.
