The Crown of Life

James 1:12  

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Thought on this verse

The crown of life is a promise that God grants to those who love Him. Though we endure tremendous trials and tribulations, we will not be crushed. Our suffering will end in the glory of Jesus Christ and we will receive the crown of life. What a beautiful ending for this life! May God be glorified in our daily trials. May we seek His face and continue to be molded into His perfect image.

It all starts with God..  

For everything, absolutely everything, above and below visible and invisible…everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. - Col. 1:16 (Msg.)

It’s not about you.

The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

Our Hope

 “Our ground of hope is that God does not weary of mankind.” — Ralph W. Sockman
Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.

Jesus

- There is no difficulty He cannot overcome.

- There is no stronghold He cannot break.
