Counting the Cost

I was looking through old journals and I found this word that the Holy Spirit spoke to me:

"Your loyalty will be tested."

Job's loyalty was tested. Joseph's loyalty was tested. Jesus' loyalty was tested in the desert. Peter's loyalty was tested. He failed the first time around but passed the second time when he gave his very life.

So what's to stop God from testing our loyalty to Him if He wants? And when the trial comes will we be found faithful no matter what the cost?

If your loyalty is being tested remember this. God does nothing without a purpose. Everything we go through is worth it if we are willing to let His glory be shown through our brokenness. (Even if we never see it this side of eternity.)

Take it from one who's loyalty knows severe testing...
