James 1: ² Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. ³ For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. ⁴ So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

 

the bible shows us over and over that trouble come to make us stronger.. yet every time they come.. we are sure we are weaker.. LOL!

 

I wonder if there will ever come a day when we can look at a trial or trouble and think.. thank you God for this opportunity to grow and become more like you...

 

it seems to me that when we are almost nearing the end of something.. then we begin to realize or accept that God is using the situation to change us... but yet we struggle against it... or at least I know I do... some days I can throw my hands up and say I don't even care what you do God.. just do SOMETHING!!!

 

yet no matter how badly I think I handle a situation... still I see myself growing...
