How does God prepare you to fulfill your divine calling?

From the time you are chosen by God to be one of His children He begins a process to refine you to be like His Son, Jesus Christ. These refining times are accomplished by trials and tribulations that come into your life to teach you certain things that God wants you to know, and things that will shape your character. Most of your learning time is in the "Valley" and not on the "mountain top". This refining time will last until the day you pass on into eternity.
