James 1:12



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 NIV)

Persevere under trial!?  Ugh.  We've all had tough times.  It's good to hear "stood the test" meaning "I made it!!"  Not of course , in our own power but in the power of Christ. These moments shape us and make us more like Christ.  We learn and grow from them.  This kind of steadfast faith carries us through more and more as we age.  It's good to know that we are blessed and will enjoy a crown of life as we trust him.
