James 1:2-4: 鈥淲hen all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives, my brothers, don鈥檛 resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends! Realize that they come to test your faith and to produce in you the quality of endurance. But let the process go on until that endurance is fully developed, and you will find you have become men [and women] of mature character.鈥�*
