Reading in James today made me realize the crazy need to be both complete and mature by persevering when we least want to. Not that I will ever be mature, (haha) it is a great reminder that to be mature in faith we have to push through things we don't want to do, to reach places we never thought we could go. Pushing through the times of struggle are our hardest moments, the moments we feel the farthest away from Gid the times when we couldn't tell you when we last truly prayed or read our Bible. It is in these days, weeks, months that we rest in knowing our completeness and maturity will only be revealed when we push through these things transferring the doing turning into the desiring of God his will and his purpose. 

God is good and his love withstands our denile, disowning nature and sinful heart drawing us to redemption, restoration and grace.
