Hello, my friends, welcome to another Follow Him favorites.

My name is Hank Smith.

I'm here with the wonderful John by the way.

Welcome, John.

Thanks, Hank.

John, you know how this works?

We're going to take on a single question from this week's lesson.

We're in second Corinthians this week, the first half of the letter, chapters one through

seven.

And right out of the Come Follow Me manual, there's a statement that says, my trials can be

a blessing.

And I thought that is a crazy statement.

So John, can you help me understand how my trials can be blessings?

Yeah, I remember once someone saying, why do I have so many trials?

And before I thought about it too long, this just poured out of my mouth because God loves

you too much to let your life be easy.

You know, after he hit me, no, it's the kind of thing where they can make us what we

are.

If we let God help us in wonderful ways.

And another word for trial is test, another word for test is prove.

I will prove you.

And God even asks us to prove him.
