“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” (James 3:17-18)

But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. (John 16:7)
Main thoughts: I. To readily and constantly admit that you PERSONALLY need God’s GRACE. II. To resolutely and consistently strive to LIVE according to God’s LAW. III. To routinely and continually assess the WORLD around you from God’s PERSPECTIVE. IV. To regularly and consciously spend time MEDITATING on God’s WORD.
Summary: God’s BEST is often on the other side of what seems like the WORST. Will you faithfully seek His best anyway? Do you trust Him enough to obey when the going gets rough?
