Life as a Christian isn't 'a bed of roses' and we all have a part to play, a mission - God's mission - to share Christ love & redeem the world! The Word says that we will receive the message with joy from the Holy Spirit in spite of the severe suffering it brought us. In this way, we imitate Christ.
I received Christ in the year 2007 and eversince then, I have been tested in so many areas - endured many sufferings and trials but still I did not give up! Till now, I have to admit that I am not perfect and am still a sinner but because we are children of God, we don't have to be victims of circumstance or be weighted down by the guilt of sin. Be honest and turn back to God, and He will turn your attention from yourself to Him and His mercy.
