As this year comes closer to it's end, let us not forget to give thanks to God for his strength to get through it. In James 1:2 he writes, Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.(niv) Through trials our faith is tested which gives us perseverance. The end result of our perseverance will give us maturity and completion.
