Bible Note: Dear lissamz, I rejoice with you and glory be to His Holy Name. Keep up with your good work and persevere. James 1:2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, James 1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. James 1:4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. ***** The Chinese word for "endurance" is made up of two parts: 1/ The upper part means the action of cutting with a knife. It has the Chinese word "knife" with a drop of blood on the edge. 2/ The lower part is the word "heart" Therefore, the Chinese "endurance" depicts that your heart has to continuously bear the hurt exercise on you. **** The goodnews is that we have hope and the love of our Lord has made us perfect.
