PerseverancePosted Mar-26-08 06:50:53 PDT Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
James 1:12
The crown of life is like the victory wreath given to winning athletes. God's crown of life is not glory and honor here on Earth, but the reward of eternal life - living with God forever. The way to be in God's winners' circle is by loving Him completely and staying faithful to Him even under great pressure.
God Bless you,
JH
