James 1:1-18
Inspired thots
T R I A L S...
such a scary word; but seriously, what trials do I go through?
This land is so peaceful and beautiful that it is hard to imagine trials that can pommet me or others.
I think my current trials are of the self where the character needs molding and changing; the old self needs to die and shed like old skin, and the new self emerges more refined like Christ. Fear, worry, greed, pride, impatience, disobedience, arrogance, self-centeredness... these have been my 'character-building' trials.
I thank God that I am not persecuted like those in harsh religious fanatical lands where one is persecuted for their faith, especially Christianity. Why particularly Christianity?
