"Beloved, 
  do not be surprised 
  at the fiery trial
  when it comes upon 
  you
  to test you


  as though something strange was happening to you.


  but rejoice
  insofar as you share
  Christ's sufferings,


  that you may also rejoice 
  and be glad
  when His glory is revealed.


  if you are insulted for the name of Christ
  you are blessed
  because the Spirit of glory
  and of God
  rests upon you"


  1 Peter 4:12-14
