His Gracious Work

Dear Lord,
    We can say anything with our lips but do we really mean it?  Often times we don't truly know ourselves.  We like to think we have faith and trust in You, but only the tests we face will reveal the truth.  You don't test us to condemn us but to reveal either our flesh or our faith.  If we pass a test in faith, it's only because of Your gracious work in our hearts.  

                                                     James 1:2-7
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything..
