Comes from James: James 1 Verse 12; {Message Bible};

“Anyone who meets a testing head on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such person loyally in love with God, the reward of life and more life”.

No one enjoys testing, but when we are challenged in our faith, the rewards for holding true in the face of them, are promised to us by Our Lord and Our Friend.

James 1 verse 2 and 4: {Message Bible]:

“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows it true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-develop, not deficient in any way”.

When it comes to overcoming, remember It is not the size of our Problems, it is the strength of our Faith In Our Lord and Our Friend.

God Bless.
