Sometimes it's easy to praise the victories and triumphs in our lives without similarly acknowledging that growth in our character comes through time and struggle.
James instructs us to consider pure joy when we face trials of many kinds. But what could possibly be delightful about trials?
God will sometimes allows us to go through challenges and hardships so that we can be molded into who He's called us to be. He waits in anticipation for us to come out of the trials of life mature and complete, not lacking anything. By staying grounded in Jesus, we can preserve through any challenge, growing stronger and ultimately allowing the fruit of the spirit to blossom in our lives. His wisdom gives us the nourishment we need to truly flourish each and every day.
Dear Heavenly Father, sometimes the trials I face seem unbearable. Please give me the strength to preserve, and help me as I grow in faith and develop into the fruit-bearing believer that You've called me to be.
