There are many crowns mentioned in My Word. There is one that is given when you endure temptation or trials. I gave this warning to My disciples: "These things I have told you, that you might have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world (John 16:33).
As much as you would like to avoid hard times and testing, you will ultimately experience this if you live a normal life span. I told My disciples just how they could be of good cheer during times of suffering.
I told them to do three things: Abide in Me, Abide in My Word, and Abide in My love. I knew that if they would discipline themselves to do these three things that they would have both My peace and joy always.
JAMES 1:12; JOHN 16:33; JOHN 15
