Through resurrection, God has given us new birth into a living hope. What pleases God is how much we become like Him. When gold is melted, the impurities rise to the top to be removed and pressurized. Until Jesus comes back, we will be pressurized, burdened, and distressed. We will be pushed, shoved, and weighted down. But hang in there and be encouraged because God exalts all who exalt Him. He will give glory to our faith.
