Icing on the Cake or Surgery?
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus. That song reminds me that it is easy to trust HIm when all is well by our standards. Trials are the true test of our faith. James 1 makes that clear. We have to believe God grows us spiritually by His methods. It would be nice if He would just do it like icing on a cake. Pretty us up. However, he usually does it with some surgery which tends to be painful. Isn't it nice to know He is also in the recovery room to comfort us? I am thankful I know Him and that He loves me.
