Chichen and Egg

Which one comes first? What is the reason and what is the result?

In the business world, we call that "the catch 22", which basically means the same thing.

In the early days when I just become a Christian, I found out the people who loves the Lord the most are the people having the most difficulties in their lives. In another words, because of the difficulties, they are forced to stick with the Lord.

But today, I found it is completely the opposite. I realized, it is because the people who are most sincere to the Lord in their hearts, God measure trials and tribulations into their lives, so that they are more thankful, joyful and have a changed life.

Because they are sincere follower of Christ, God intervened and a new life is born, despite of the difficulties and suffers.
