Encouraging Verses !!!

In 1 Corinthians 12:6, "There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men." In 1 Peter 4:1, "[ Living for God ] Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin." In Hebrews 12:10 "Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness." Then we see the next verse, Hebrews 12:11, No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. James 1:2 "[ Trials and Temptations ] Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds." 1 Peter 1:6, "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials." Hebrews 13:21 "equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 1:7, "These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." 1 Peter 5:10, "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
