“Bless is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him” James 1:12.
James was the half brother of Christ and he also had to watch his sibling suffer. Christ's suffering was the greatest act of love on record for He suffered for those past, present and future persons who would have the choice to reject Him. James speaks of endurance and perseverance first hand being the brother of Jesus yet he sees the benefits - the crown of life! James recognized that all will be called to endure during trials - to stand the test.
My sweet sister begins chemo today in an effort to shrink her aggressive cancer. Although Beth has the cancer we must ask ourselves, "What part of this experience am I to take to the Lord for His revelations to me?" Trials occur to everyone and the pain from the suffering is never wasted for God has a plan in all suffering to bring us closer to Him.
What is God trying to reveal to you in this season?

Brenda,
I see a pattern of you not getting any sleep. I admit it concerns me.
Love you,
Linda K.
God is revealing himself to me by (1) All things are possible through Christ only. (2) To fully surrender to Christ's consciousness. (3) To live completely to serve Christ and deliver his wonderful message about loving one another. (4) To create greater works with one another through Christ's desire for each of us.
God is revealing His petals of His flower.
Praise God!
