"God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." James 1:12
This verse kind of correlates with yesterday's. Are you enduring some tests in your life? Are you going through something difficult? Take heart, because when you patiently endure the pain, you'll receive the crown of life.
Remember that God loves you, and He's not putting obstacles in your way to make you miserable. He doesn't do things like that. He allows for things to happen though, because He knows you're strong enough to face it and get through. He's calling you to rise above, to be an example for Him. Are you up for the challenge? Of course you are, you were created to overcome it. It's a matter of you believing whether you can get through it or not.
And when it feels like to the weight is too much to bear, see the previous post. ;) He's got your back.
Love

:) True! It is a blessing to go through such difficult times because God knows we can handle it! He is saying, "You are strong enough to endure this."
