## Resource

James 1:2–4 is no one’s favorite memory verse, yet it tells us exactly how God grows us: by testing our faith. If we bristle at hardship, God sends more not to crush us, but to build the spiritual muscles we keep asking for while hoping never to exercise. Patience is not learned in comfort any more than strength is gained by watching television. Babies demand instant relief; maturity comes when we learn to submit our appetites and desires to God’s timing. James says these trials make us “perfect and entire,” but many of us pray as though we want God to keep us in spiritual diapers. The truth is simpler and better: life becomes richer when we stop resisting His training and choose to grow up into Christ.
