My awesome, loving and wonderful Grandchildren, and Annika and Kaleigh, whom I love and pray for every day: “My brothers and sisters, you will face all kinds of trouble. When you do, THINK OF IT AS PURE JOY. Your faith will be put to the test. You know that when that happens it will produce in you THE STRENGTH TO CONTINUE. The strength to keep going must be allowed to finish its work. Then YOU WILL BE ALL YOU SHOULD BE. You will have everything you need.” (Jam. 1:2-4)
According to this scripture in order for us to have all we need along with the strength to finish our course, we will face persecution and are told to consider it “pure joy.”
This is why Jesus said: “Blessed are those WHO ARE PERSECUTED because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 5:10)
INDEED, THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH…
Notice: […We must understand that the bible says:] “THINK OF IT AS PURE JOY. Your faith will be put to the test.” !!!] That’s for you: Stephanie, Ethan, Camden, Olivia, Aidan, Landon, Kinsley, Annika and Kaleigh
