Some of the most amazing people I’ve seen are those who suffer most. Even in pain, some show incredible kindness and compassion, shining love when it seems impossible. Jesus was the ultimate example. After being whipped, carrying a rough wooden cross on His bleeding back, heading toward His own execution, He still thought of others: “Don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children” (Luke 23:28). Trials reveal true character. Facades fall away. Israel’s forty years in the wilderness were filled with trials, but God used them to reveal who they truly were: “Remember how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character” (Deuteronomy 8:2). In whatever trials you face today, pray for God’s strength so His character may shine through you. (Craig B) Open Bible – https://bit.ly/luk23v28-31, https://bit.ly/Deu8v1-3
