HE NEVER PROMISED YOU A ROSE GARDEN:  Before going to the Cross, Jesus tells us “in this world you will have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world”. John 16:33 Life will come at us, that’s a promise! There will be difficult times. The Apostle Paul spoke often of his trials, however, he was also the disciple who shared the secret to his victory. Grace is not passive. We are to GROW IN GRACE – 2 Peter 3:18. GRACE is our GO-TO in the midst of trials, but where do we GO-TO when the going gets tough? This message will inspire you to take Jesus at His word; GO TO GRACE and GROW!
