What 1 Peter 5:10 means
The God of all grace, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. Peter does not pretend the suffering away, he says after a while, but he frames it as temporary and purposeful. The same God who allows the season promises to use it to make you steadier and stronger on the other side.
