Enduring the process of trials

Greetings!  James 1:12 (NIV version) reads “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”  Powerful Bible scripture right here on persevering and enduring trials!  In the end we as believers and disciples of Jesus Christ are blessed with eternal rewards which is the crown of life!  Through life we will go through all various sorts of trials but our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will always see us through! That is why we have the Holy Spirit to help us in this process!  Although this verse is talking about eternal rewards I do believe we will also be rewarded in this life as well.  It is true that people have died for their faith in Jesus Christ but rest assured their reward is eternal and their earthly troubles are no more!

Jesus Christ Himself says in the gospel of Matthew 19:28-30 (NIV version) which reads “Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.  And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.  But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”  Another powerful Bible scripture here about how our eternal rewards outweigh our current struggles and trials that we are in!  There will be moments of rewards and gratification that God/Jesus will allow us in this life to have as well which is wonderful but they are only temporary in the long run.  Let’s keep our eyes on the prize which is seeking and serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!   We can and will do this together making our surrounding communities and the world 🌎 and better place!  Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 and love ❤️!!
