1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 7And all the men were about twelve. 8And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
After Ye Have Suffered Awhile

After You Have Suffered A Little While
This is the scripture from which I took the title for this blog.
The point being that living for God is not designed nor ever intended to be a 'walk in the park' .
In fact, the scripture tells us that if we suffer with Him, we will reign with him.
2 Timothy 2:12King James Version (KJV)
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
' Believer's ' must be willing to take up their cross and follow Jesus.
Luke 9:23King James Version (KJV)
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Something to think about. . . . .
