Hudson Taylor
CONCLUSION We have a loving Savior who weeps with us, joins us in our
suffering, and walks with us through the trials of life.
And He wants to work through the things He allows in our lives so
that He will be glorified, praised, and believed in by others.
For consideration
1. If you aren’t going through a hard time right now, you will someday! Ask the
Lord to prepare your heart to love Him no matter what happens in your life.
2. If you are going through a hard time right now, please don’t suffer alone. Reach
out to a trusted brother or sister in Christ, and let them pray for you.
