Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,
whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your
faith produces perseverance. Let
perseverance finish its work so that you may
be mature and complete, not lacking
anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you
should ask God, who gives generously to all
without finding fault, and it will be given to
you. But when you ask, you must believe and
not doubt, because the one who doubts is
like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed byJam 1:2-7

vulnerable.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed
back and forth by the waves, and blown here

truth in love, we will grow to become in every
respect the mature body of him who is the
head, that is, Christ.
Ephesians 4:14-15
