Do you feel like things are always going wrong?
That’s not your life.
Do depression and anxiety dog your footsteps?
That’s not how God wants you to live.
Do you struggle with family issues?
Throw it off. God has a better way.
James 1:2-4 tells us we are meant to be perfect in Christ.
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
Here’s the thing. You will face struggles. You can’t change that. God knows that’s part of perfecting you, to make you the best you can be.
The difference for the Christian is that you understand what’s going on. You are getting better. You are stepping over and on each of your problems, and you are becoming more like Jesus with every victory.
Your life becomes a chain reaction to perfection.
- First, your tests of your faith produce steadfastness.
- Second, steadfastness produces perfection.
- Finally, you become complete, lacking in nothing.
That’s something to jump up and down about!
You are on the road to Jesus. You are destined for your perfect life.
When Jesus is number one, nothing that comes your way can harm you.
