Made Perfect And Complete.....Lacking Nothing

On some level or another we seek relief from the difficulties, stresses, trials and suffering of this life. And as Christians we certainly can relate to these for sure. It seems that the problem lies in our self-will and determination to not feel any pain, hurt or go through any kind of trial, which leaves us incomplete and lacking a whole lot. Trust me I a have gone through enough job losses, hurts  and frustrations to know, and I'm sure some of you have to. Only the Lord God Himself knows what were truly lacking, and He has no problem working that out in our lives in the form of trials. While He does not create the temptation he may allow us to go through it all just to deepen our faith and comittment to Him. The next time you hear someone praising the Lord and expressing joy in the midst of their storm, know that they are simply allowing the God to finish his good work, making them perfect and complete lacking nothing.
