We do not like it. Perhaps we even detest the testing of our souls and lives. However, with courage, with wisdom, with understanding, and with patience we can indeed count our trials as blessings. With wisdom, we can count our trials as a great joy. In the middle of the testing when we become weary and want to walk away from our trials, the Lord calls out to us to finish the work rather than quit.
Mature people are complete people.
If mature people lack something then they are wise enough to either overcome or compensate for what they lack or they pass the test by building upon their disadvantage in a constructive way. Testing, trials, or suffering can be taken advantage of. Perseverance becomes self-reinforcing because we learn from it. God does not inflict the suffering or wound, however, God assigns a purpose, goal, and meaning to the suffering after Satan inflicts the wound. Thank you for visiting this web page.
