Perhaps
during times of affliction you have almost fainted. You may have been
so weak and weary you thought you couldn't go another step. But now,
from where you stand, you can say, "I never want to go through that
again but God brought me out. He has been faithful. Praise the Lord!"
God
is not satisfied with a heartfelt "thank you" from us. Rather, He says,
"Wait just a moment, My child. I did not bring you through all those
troubles and afflictions just to make you a grateful overcomer. I've
spent years training you, putting you through all these things for a
purpose, and I'm not going to let you waste them now. I fully intend for
my investment to pay off. I tell you, your best work is ahead of you!"
