Perseverance

Happy is the man who perseveres under trial, because after passing he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love him. James 2:12

There are battles that God allows us to go through, not because He doesn't love us, but because He wants us to grow in wisdom, in fidelity, in perseverance. Let us go through them trusting and believing that God always has the biggest and best plan for our lives.

Deuteronomy 8:2 You will remember all the way the Lord your God led you in the wilderness these forty years, to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep it or not his commandments.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you will be able to experience and prove the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.

Let us be grateful to God, whether in joy or sadness, at any moment in our lives, let us ask Him for wisdom to act according to His will. Persevering and always trusting.

Jeremiah 30:11-13 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you the end you hope for. Then you will call on me, and you will go and pray to me, and I will hear you. And you will seek me, and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
