An Illusion Undone

AN ILLUSION UNDONE

Gems cannot be polished without adequate friction
Neither people without trials
Human nature thrives under stress and affliction
Strays under prosperities life-style

Ease equals apostasy and pain hungry hearts for God
We are motivated by need
When all seems well our Faith is weak- roughshod
On dangerous delusions we feed

Circumstances that highlight our corresponding poverty
Realizing our lack of self-sufficiency
 Learn righteousness – observing we are the Fathers property
 Illusions undone with perfect efficiency


“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him”
James 1:12<>
