Do you desire joy or a strong dose of patience? Is perfection a concern of your heart? Does the Bible answer these perplexing questions? Glad you asked.
James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
God is working and developing your faith and character for His glory. Give it some thought.
