"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." - James 1:2-4 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." - 1 Corinthians 10:13 this has been a very trying week for me so far. maybe my heart is just too fragile, or i am just too weak in spirit, but i feel like i have been tested beyond what i can truly bear. for the past five days, i have been literally crying out to God for help and strength to endure what i was going through. sure, looking back at what happened, those situations or trials may seem so small, but at that point in time, i really felt so tired and helpless. the two verses above came to my mind and have been there ever since. God has really blessed and provided every single time, without fail. He truly was and is my tower of refuge and strength. right now, as i type this, there is this sense of joy in my heart, in knowing that God will always carry me. while i am aware that more trials will be coming my way and may feel me leaving dejected, disappointed and maybe even depressed, i take comfort in the fact that this testing of my faith will eventually make me a stronger and mature Christian and person. :) |
