James 1: 2-4…. “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
Notice that the scripture says WHENEVER. Which means you WILL.. “face trials of many kinds” Then read the rest, and meditate on it so you can begin to understand the “whys” we all have at times.
2 Corinthians 3: 18, We, who are followers of Jesus, must never forget throughout our lives we are being “transformed into His image.” So we will have hurt, sorrow, pains in our life that only the Spirit of God can help you to understand and drive out all your fears. Because that’s what the perfect Love being made in you does. But it must be MADE COMPLETE! 1 John 4: 18, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love (God), drives out fear, because fear (the enemy), has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” You see, He is making Himself in us. “Mature and complete, not lacking ANYTHING” and “perfect in love.” God is Love.
We will all have troubles and trials in this life, but it’s what you choose to do with them, how you allow your mind to process them, that makes all the difference in you. Isaiah 26: 3, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” Then you can go out and shine that ray of light in others so they may look to the “One” Who is pulling you through …. all your weakness, your sickness, your brokenness, is all on His “Shoulders.”
Where does your help come from when everything around you is falling apart? What holds you together and pulls you through? For me it’s my Sweet Jesus. I am so thankful for Him in my life, that I don’t have to see Him to believe. I have experienced Him SO many times, in SO many ways. He’s real, very much alive and living in me.
