A letter from Guy de Bres
I came across this letter written by Guy de Bres to his wife shortly before his martyrdom. I found it very encouraging.
Oh, that we would all have that kind of faith and attitude! It is easy to think we would when we are not being persecuted or facing imminent death for the Lord's sake. Testing and trials show us the depth of our faith or the lack thereof, whatever the case may be, but God is always looking to refine and deepen our faith; thus the "tribulations and trials of life". May we welcome them for the opportunities they are!
Wow, that was very encouraging and sobering. Thanks for sharing it. I'll be passing it on.
