Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing ( James 1:2-4).
My grandson, Alex, is already training for the track season. Every athlete can relate a saying or anecdote that his/her coach is fond of using. Alex told us a saying that his track coach uses: "Pain is weakness leaving the body." I think it is a good saying for athletes because it takes a lot of pain to prepare for competition.
It is also true for us who are competing for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Pain helps us to become toughened for the battle as we serve Him.
Our Father's Blessings,
Tom
