In James 1:3,4 It says: "Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."This is a welcomed verse of scripture. To have faith is to have patience, and to have patience it takes faith. Patience is so hard for someone who has many letters after his name. ADHD, ADD, RLS. So this is how God made me, It's my personality. So then my conclusion is: I will never be able to obtain true Faith. What a false lie from the devil, or my carnal self. Take your pick. The Truth is Jesus, so if I believe in Jesus, all things are possible. In my faith journey, The Lord took me out of my comfort zone, stirred up problems in all areas of my life, showed me I was a pharisee, humbled me, showed me I wasn't bound by my personality, taught me not to strive, showed me I was serving myself and not Him. Taught me I wasn't serving others, I wasn't preferring others over myself. Gave me feelings again, Showed me I didn't have the Christian life figured out. And most importantly has enlightened me that I don't need to be working on a project to be happy and content. Revelation! He has brought a change in my Life, So now I can gain Patience, and I can have Faith. What a miracle! What a Blessing! What a Loving God. So James 1:2 all of a sudden makes sense. "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations."
