How to Move Through Suffering and Come Back Stronger Day 2

James 1:2-3

We're given all the more encouragement in suffering. Since becoming a Christian my outlook on suffering has changed. I'm much less blaming or questioning God "Why me, i don't deserve this" etc but much rather "how can I best glorify you in this situation." I guess a sin that holds be back greatly is what I vented on yesterday. 

Psalm 16:4
Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.

If I chose not to abandon those I loved and stayed in the sin of belonging, I would probably still be considered lost to God. It was costly, but I know it was the right thing to do. It's 1:50am, i'm struggling to stay awake but I'm hoping and praying that my packed schedule is training me for future occasions in which I struggle to read scripture. I guess this can be a clear cut example of diligence producing perseverance. 

Prayer/Response:
- Love God and make Him known
- Read my Bible earlier
- That Jasmine Park can keep a diligent relationship with you in Korea. Please continue making yourself known to her!
