When we take up our cross daily, love God fully, and love others faithfully, God weaves our struggles into stories that bring Him glory and bring us blessing. Today, we wrap up our challenging series “The Grind and the Glory” with a study that is appropriately named – Struggles to Stories. We have not sugar coated the truth, the Bible certainly doesn’t, but the reality is that if you are a follower of Jesus – He has called you to the grind. The only decision left is whether you are willing to answer that call and follow Him or not. Get ready, the race is on!
