Thought of the Day !!

For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

                                   James 1:3 (NIV)

Has your faith been tested lately?  Did you rejoice?  Probably not.  But remember that in Romans 5 Paul says that we rejoice in our sufferings because they bring about endurance, which brings about character, which in turn brings about hope (the hope we have in God).  

Ok, so maybe we won't always rejoice when we suffer and/or our faith is tested.  But bear in mind that in ALL things God works for the good of those who love Him.  He allows our faith to be tested to make it stronger.  So keep the faith, therefore keeping the hope in God to see you through any testing in your lives.  God bless.

In the love of Christ,
