HOW TO PREPARE - Part 2

Beloved,
Do not think it strange,
The fiery trial which is to try you,
As though some strange thing happened to you.

But REJOICE,
To the extent THAT YOU PARTAKE OF CHRIST's SUFFERINGS.

That when His glory is revealed,
You may also be glad with EXCEEDING JOY.

If you are reproached for the name of Christ,
BLESSED ARE YOU,
For the SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD RESTS UPON YOU.
(1 Peter 4:12-14)
