'Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish it's work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.'
(James 1:2-4)
Young Seef (my roommate) and I dwell on this scripture from James as we fight our harsh frustration built up inside. Although being 'the better person' gets old, we are reminded that it will be worth it in the end...'Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.' (Galatians 6:9)
So let's pray..God, we love You. It is difficult to live by Jesus' example sometimes. You understand this, we know. But make us better. Make us able to withstand the frustration and rise above it. You have the power to give us hearts of pure love. How can hate exist in a heart of love? Thank you for growing our faith and producing perseverance in our inner being. You work in us and we are SO thankful!! Love YOU! In Christ, Amen.
