"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds..." James 1:2
I’m so glad these verses don’t say “feel the joy” but, instead, “consider where some glimpses of joy might be even in the midst of all the hurt.”
Yes, Lord. Help us see the joy.
Don’t compare your life to other people. Run your race. God’s purpose for your life is not the same as theirs. Stay focused on your calling. Check out "Seasons of Silence" from Joel: https://t.co/spV2a4HmrT
Do the right thing when it’s hard. Keep a good attitude when people are not treating you right. Go the extra mile when nobody is watching. You may not see anything happening on the outside but, on the inside, God is preparing you to go to new levels.
God has not forgotten about you. He knows how long it’s been. He knows what’s in you: the gifts, the talents, the dreams. He put them there. Instead of fighting the silence, embrace it.
Have you let life name you addicted, limited, always struggling? Or do you go by what God named you: free, victorious, overcomer, well-able?
Listen now to this new message from Joel, "Change Your Name": https://t.co/spV2a4HmrT
God is not just a way maker. He is the way. That’s why He’s called the great I AM. "I AM whatever you need, I AM favor, I AM breakthroughs, I AM healing, I AM abundance."
