When you’re passing through the fire today, consider it all joy; welcome the various and diverse trials as old friends! Know that it is Christ himself who is working out his great plan in your life and that nothing can separate you from His love (Rom 8:38-39).

He is only growing His spiritual fruit in you so that you might be mature and complete and that you might in turn enjoy Him more AND BE ABLE TO HELP OTHERS.

This week I will:
1. Commit to memory James 1:2
2. Discover how I can count it all joy in the middle of trouble
3. Set the goal of my faith
4. Invite two friends for our Thanksgiving Weekend service
