The good news is that God is not surprised by where we find ourselves, and He has a GOOD PLAN for your future! Stick with Him and you’ll come out on top, and be a shining light to the people around you.

This devotional, part three of the Be a Gentleman series, focuses on authenticity. This plan will help you on the journey of aligning your actions, words, and values with your true self.

There's no doubt about it; if you're alive, you will experience suffering. Perhaps you're in a time of suffering right now and feel as though God has disappeared. Maybe you're questioning why God allows suffering at all. Take heart; God walks with you through your darkest valley and gives you His fatherly comfort. He knows what you're experiencing and promises great gain and future glory when you suffer.
