WHAT IS ONE FAVORITE VERSE/PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE?
1 Peter 5:10 “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”
Peter reminds us that while suffering in this life is guaranteed, God promises our restoration through faith in Christ. The shifts our perspective: from focusing on what’s hard, to holding on to what is holy.
