I agree growth and grace are realized through trials. James 1:2-4 teaches us that...

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Thank you for your statement.

After receiving Christ as Lord and Savior, I wanted to share this good news with the world.  I am praying for a door to open where I will be able to share my love for Jesus to millions of His people.

@ theBlood:

We all have a door to share the good news.  Start with one person and it will lead to millions.

I absolutely love this summation. Our trials indeed grow our faith. How does one believe God is a healer if they don’t experience the sickness. How does one fully believe Jesus is the Saviour unless they have experienced sin to be delivered from. I praise God for His twins…Grace and Mercy…because I have fallen short, I know God to be and my portion forever.
