God will bless you for enduring testing and temptation. He will give you the crown of life He has promised to those that love Him.  Don't just listen to the word of God but also live it out in your life.  Take care of those in need.  Extend mercy.  Humble yourself before the Lord and He will lift you up in honor. Reading from James 1:2-6,12-25,27 and James 2:12, 4:7,10 (NLT)
