Pressure is a gift... part 3

James 1:2-4

Being exposed is always a vulnerable thing. Which is why so many of us shy away from it. We need to get used to the idea of what is inside being known and seen by all. Realize it or not, this is what happens when we go through difficult periods of life--our true colors show. So what are you really like? Does your faith really take center stage in time of crisis? Do you still run to other sources aside from Jesus in your desperation? Make choices today, when there is no pressure on you. Even in the midst of that crisis, make choices, to belong to Him. And as you do so, your perspective will change, and when it is all done, you will come out well-developed, matured, not deficient in any good thing. Amazing. Lastly, don't rush the process. Don't merely "endure" it; you will miss out on the growth and development. Embrace it, OWN it! This is your chance to come out of that crisis better than ever before!
