At some point or another, those people really trying to follow the path of Christ are going to hit a point of testing and refinement. Lets not mince words here, this is going to suck, but the hoped for and intended results of this time is not only victory in Jesus, but a renewed sense of purpose and power that comes when the man is broken and rebuilt in Christ.
I am in the wilderness. I am in the process of being broken. This is my record of the journey.
