“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” James 1:2-5
Somebody wrote these little words we often quote: “I walked a mile with Pleasure; she chatted all the way; but left me none the wiser for all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow; and ne’er a word said she; but, oh! The things I learned from her when Sorrow walked with me.” God uses sorrow to teach us and form us. One of the things we learn when we’re going through difficulty that moves us toward maturity is patience.
