In this, you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1:6-7
Through pestilence, unending change, riotous upheaval, and raging fires, this year has proven that your faith and love are more precious than gold and bring praise, glory, and honor to our Lord, Jesus Christ.
