there is something Tribulations does to us it moulds us into something we never know, stretches us beyond the norm and makes us more of who we are.
the truth is at some point or the other we will experience Tribulations in life the reason is because we are not of the world and so the world will hate us, Jesus told us this that the world will hate us because they have not known the father who sent him.
in another scriptures he told us of the amazing peace he has for us that in him we will experience peace but in the world we will face Tribulations but we shouldn't be afraid he has overcome the world..
siting the life of Paul in 2Corinth. 11:26-27..
2Corinthians 11:26-27, in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren, in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness
if you read from 23 Paul was saying all of the Tribulations he experience in the course of spreading the gospel of christ but still did not give up and still chose to suffer for the sake of christ .
in our work with christ it's not going to be all rosy and so sweet because the world did not know Jesus and so they will hate us because they had not know the father or the son.
