Life’s a gym

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” – James 1: 12
HAVE you been tempted to join the grumpy club recently? Who hasn’t? But far better that we take note of James’s advice (above) that life's a journey through suffering, to perseverance, to character, to hope. It's about trials making us complete. Pressure and heat transform simple carbon into diamonds. Omelettes come from broken eggs. Life is our spiritual gymnasium. Sometimes God piles on the weights to prepare us for what's ahead. It's all about getting you into the shape He wants you to be!
