James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”

Do you turn to God when you are challenged?  Do you persevere in your faith when you are tested?  God wants you to remain steadfast in trusting Him for the harvest and hope that awaits.  God searches for the heart who loves Him even in suffering and hardship. God blesses the one who steadfastly receives Him in the midst of trial.  Open your heart to receive His blessing, even as you are being challenged. He is with you, loving you always.
