Consider it a sheer gift, friends,
when tests and challenges come at you from all sides.
You know that under pressure,
your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors.
So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely.
Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed,
not deficient in any way.
James 1:2-4 The Message

Wise scripture, but hard to do in between instructing the Lord on what to do next..... to help you get out of the situations.... LOL
ReplyDeleteAlso, this is a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
LOVE the photo. I'm a "photo-oriented" person. Filled with joy and love.
ReplyDeleteOh Nina! That is so true! To try and force things instead of waiting for the true time is just a waste. I have learned that by experience. Better to wait and not be deficient.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, my friend!
