Sometimes a person
comes to his minister and says, ‘I am a poor specimen of Christianity. I have
no patience at all. Would you please pray for me that I might have patience?’ A
minister who knows the Word of God well might begin to pray at that moment, ‘Lord,
please send tribulation into this person’s life,’ because the way we develop
perseverance of patience is through suffering. Therefore, if misfortune enters
your life, God may be using it to develop character in you that in days to come
he will use to bring glory to his name.
D. Martyn Lloyd Jones
