“能忍受试炼的人，是有福的；因为他经过考验之后，必得着生命的冠冕，这冠冕是主应许给爱他的人的。”
雅各书 1:12
“Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”
James 1:12
This beatitude comes from Jesus' brother. He had experienced it and not just taught it! James knew it was worth "hanging in" and "hanging on" when his faith was under attack.
He affirmed that God loves us and that He has made incredible promises about what lies ahead for us. He knew that eventually our period of testing would be transformed into a time of great blessing though in the midst of experiencing, it's not easy to see, with all the pain. James wants us to know that God longs to bless us with life!
God is always by our side in trials, even when we can't seem to feel or see His presence, He is always there.
