Faith Grows Well in Adversity

I was visiting with some relatives earlier this week, and sharing our Christian testimonies, we found out that all three of us had faced some strong opposition when we began to attend church and live out our Christian beliefs. It wasn't easy for us, but here we are, living monuments to God's great mercy and grace. In fact we all agreed that God had used what was meant for evil for our spiritual good; another real-life application of Ro. 8:28: God used those hard times in our lives and those opposing and mean-spirited words to bring us closer to Him.
