Receive the Crown of Life

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. — James 1:12

Those who persevere under trial are called blessed by God.

When we stand the test, God takes note.

That person will receive the crown of life.

Just as God has promised to those who love Him.

This is home up the street that's being built entirely of shipping containers.

I had heard about this recently, but this is the first time we saw it in person!

Very interesting!

Blessed Is the One Who Perseveres

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. — James 1:12

Kirk's mom's cousin Roger Jones passed away unexpectedly yesterday in Iowa.

Fortunately, Kirk had visited him, his wife, and daughters on his trip to Akron a year and a half ago.

Still, it's hard to lose a relative.

But God calls us blessed to have persevered.

And now he has received the crown of life that God promises to those who love him.

Praise the Lord.
