PROBLEMS, TESTS AND CHALLENGES

"Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way." (James 1:2-4 MSG)

Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit. 

-- M. Scott Peck, M.D.
