Words By Roxanna ~ Hard Times

Smith
Wigglesworth was born on 8 June 1859 to an impoverished family in
Yorkshire. As a small child, he worked in the fields pulling turnips
alongside his mother. He was illiterate until, at the age of
twenty-three, he married Polly, who taught him to read. He often said
that the Bible was the only book he ever read.
He
was a plumber by trade. But had to abandon it after he became too busy
with an amazing ministry of preaching and healing. There are even
accounts of people being raised from the dead through his ministry. Yet
he said on one occasion that he would rather see one person saved
through his preaching than 10,000 healed.
Life
was not always easy for Smith Wigglesworth. He went through some very
hard times. He wrote, ‘Great faith is a product of great fights. Great
testimonies are the outcome of great tests. Great triumphs can only come
out of great trials.’
The
Bible is very realistic. We live in a fallen world. Everyone goes
through hard times and some people find themselves in circumstances that
make life hard all of the time.
Blessings,
Roxanna
