These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. (NLT) -1 Peter 1:7 Authentic, it's a difficult quality to find in our culture. When we do find it, it's like a precious metal. The same is true of faith and when we face hardship our faith becomes more authentic. If we can withstand the testing of our faith then we know our belief is genuine. If you are walking through a difficult time, take comfort and know it will bring glory when Christ reveals your sacrifice. Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://bit.ly/16uZrQ5
