Adoption as Plan A: Wonderful Wednesday

Wonderful Wednesday

I thought I'd share something that stood out to me several weeks ago in studying God's Word. I went back and reviewed some yesterday and was reminded of it...

"Would you rather have the character of Jesus, or be comfortable?"

That is not an exact quote, but something along those lines was in both of the commentaries I have studied lately on the book of James in discussing trials. Would you rather just be comfortable with no harm, disappointments, struggles, discouragements, etc.? OR, would you rather be working towards having that of the character of Christ Jesus?

What are you allowing the Lord to do in your life? ...a question I am asking myself.
