I am just thinking to myself about stuff that i am going through now.
Many times, i pray to God and ask Him to take the pain away, take the hurt away... sometimes He does, but sometimes He doesn't.
He lets us go through them.
He says His strength is perfect in our weakness. These tests really weigh me down sometimes. I realized this morning that THEY AREN'T GOING AWAY! instead, i see that I AM GOING THROUGH THEM!! Because when we go through difficult times-reaaaaaaallly trying times; it is actually a test of our faith!!!
JAMES teaches that the trying of our faith produces patience "but let patience have it's perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing"
So when you successfully go through these tests; you come out stronger and complete in character.
The tests don't go away... but you go through them...and come out a winner.

ReplyDeleteIf you would never fall down and hurt yourself - sometimes badly - than, how would you learn to get up again and walk away proudly? Moreover, it's not important how you fell down, but how you got up. Do it with dignity and strength far beyond your expectations...and you will turn out to be person God wants you to be! Amen.
