Life is a turmoil of experience that dresses us in several clothing
‘’Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance- Romans 5:3

Have you forgotten the story of Job? Job’s faith and strength was measured, his life changed within seconds, in the twinkle of an eye, he lost all that he had been blessed with, even his wife obliged him to curse God and die but Job hanged onto his anchored faith as his trust sailed him to the oceans of abundant love
The bible says in Romans 2:7
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. The wife of job gave up on her trust and anchor in Christ because of the temptations and challenges experienced
Life is full of challenges!
Life is full of challenges I repeat
Every challenge comes with an opportunity to excel and grow, do not ever allow the trials of the world to weigh you down. For you are a conqueror and a warrior, you can only be scared and not killed
