We are all looking for that place in life where we have plenty of room and no contention, but we need to realize that it most often comes through some type of conflict. Trying to live out the spiritual blessings of being Christ followers will not be easy in a world that is hostile to the gospel. In this world, God prepares us for greater kingdom responsibility through everyday difficulties. But we readily endure hardship in this life because we know the glory that awaits us in the next.
