Trials Produce Perseverance
James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4)
God has a plan for the trials in your life. He is using trials to help you grow in your faith, to help you get stronger, mature, become more Christlike, and completely dependent on God. It can be very difficult because trials are hard, but be joyful in the fact that God is using the trials in your life for good and to help you mature. ~ Jeff M Newman
