Path To Being Perfect And Complete



James 1:2-4


Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.


*
Even though we are trained to avoid trials, they end up knocking at our doors anyways
and therefore we might as well understand why we have trials in our lives. God's
intention was for us to be perfect and complete. Not having a correct perspective
regarding my trials will make me incomplete because I would never understand how
to accept the situation in God's terms. So, only through trials I will fully
understand, lacking nothing what God intended for me in the first place.



Shouldn't I be joyful to know that God sends special training for me to lack in
nothing? Thank you for allowing me to see the hidden meanings in trials I passed
through during last 2.5 years. May I grow to not lack in anything; and be perfect
and complete as I walk through these trials.
