Word-less

I'm finding it hard to spit words out to say.

Fear?

Genesis 26:24
            ... "Do not be afraid, for I am with you" ...

I don't exactly know...

Read something over the week whilst preparing for Bible study. Nothing new - but something of a reminder to me that He is there in the midst of everything.

"We are like jewels, shaped with the hammer and chisel of adversity. If a jeweler's hammer isn't strong enough to chip off our rough edges, God will used a sledgehammer. If we're really stubborn, he uses a jackhammer. He will use whatever it takes."

"Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber. What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever."
                     From Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life, Zondervan, Michigan, pp.193-200.

James 1:2-4
        Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of
       many kinds, because you know that testing of your faith
      develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so
      that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Here's to the weekend that's just passed.
