James 1:12 (ESV) Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. Rom 8:28 We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. Eph 5:15-16 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 1 Peter3:10-11 For “Whoever desires to love life & see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil & his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil & do good; let him seek peace & pursue it. 1 Petr 3:8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, & a humble mind. — If you will humble your heart & meditate on these scriptures, get them deep in your soul then you will have all the directions you will need to receive the crown of life!
