James 1:2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.how can one rejoice when faced with a trial, or under pressure. To the lady and gentleman that does not like to be stressed or put in a difficult situation, I maybe a crazy guy; but think about what happens to gold when passed through fire? The gold becomes purified and can be moulded to any form.In our world today the most successful and great individuals had a lot of difficult times in their lives, you can investigate. The trial brings the best out of a man if he's patient to go through the process.James 1:3-4Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothingToday so many people want life to be smooth and easy, but if you investigate the lives of people that decided to find shortcuts and easy way out, you will discover that they never made impact in this world.You maybe someone going through a lot and you wish you didn't have to go through what you are going through right now, I want you to be patient and learn from your situation you will come out strong. Even Jesus Christ had to go through a tough time, he fasted for 40 days and 40 nights and was tempted by the devil on top of that, he came out strong and started his ministry after that.I want you to think about where you are going when you're faced with that trial, I want you to know that no situation is permanent. Don't give up and take a shortcut be patient and get the best. Joseph was patient until his time came.Be! Patient!

And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick:and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand Basically you can see that Amnom loved Tamar his step-sister or at least he claimed he loved her and his friend Jonadab (the evil friend in this case) advis...
