From the words, we learn that actually trials bring about goodness to our life. We have to consider it as pure joy! Why? Because testing of our faith develops perseverance. So in other words, if we face trials, hardship and difficulties in our life, it is God’s design to develop endurance, perseverance in our faith.
Then, it says that perseverance must finish….It not us actually, but the perseverance that have to finish its works! And it is like the vehicle that we ride…A car that we drive to reach the destination. We drive it, perseverance finish it. Sometimes it seems that the journey is so long…so hard…so tiring…But, why do we stop? Or why do we stop the perseverance from finishing its work? Just let it go….let it finish the works. So that we may be mature and complete. Unless we let the perseverance in our faith to finish its works, we will no reach the maturity and completeness God wants.
G'day from a fellow victorian!
