But if you are experiencing trouble down here and the pressures and tensions of life are on you, I have news for you—that’s one of the signs that you’re God’s child. I notice that God’s children suffer a great deal, and one of the most wonderful things is it’s going to be temporary. You’re going to come through it.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
