Facing Challenges.  The Apostle Peter once wrote to a group of suffering Christian believers.  Living in a world that was very much unlike them, they found themselves facing challenges.  But these were challenges that Peter reassured them would one day end.  Until that day, Peter told his readers to pray, love, fellowship and serve each other.  Christians today find themselves living in a world that is becoming more and more foreign to them.  Challenges to living the Christian life are always present, but these challenges will end one day.  Until that day, you and I must pray.  We must love each other, fellowship with each other, and serve each other.  As with the believers of Peter's day, we can find comfort in one another until the day we meet Christ.  Helen Keller said, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."  Are you an overcomer?
