6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

The Apostle Peter writes that believers have gifts stored in Heaven where moths can not get to them nor can dust settle upon them. It is because of this that we 'greatly rejoice.' In the midst of our rejoicing, alas; "for a season...we are in heaviness through manifold temptations." In other words, we're enduring some set backs and situations that weigh heavy on our hearts. Be encouraged, family, trials only come to purify our faith. Peter says that gold is purified by fire, but it still perishes. The purified faith of a believer never fades away. It will last until the appearing of Jesus Christ, where Jesus Himself with praise and honor us. That's reason enough to hold on.
