Are We Being Sifted?

What we must come to understand is that our trials help us to grow in patience, which is a necessary spiritual quality. Trials are a necessary part of a Christians life, but Satan will try to use them to his advantage. He wants to sift us to the point of distraction. As Christians, children of God our lives are placed through a sifter , and cranked each day to lessen our rough edges.
