In “Letters from Jesus” I have taken the letter of James and put it into the words of Jesus. To do this, I have repeatedly asked the questions as I read each verse: What is Jesus telling me through this verse? How would Jesus write this verse in today’s setting?
Day 1
JAMES 1
James 1:1-4 Challenges
Dear Sister and Brother,
1:1 This message is from Me, Jesus, to you. I am sending this to you because you have chosen to serve and worship Me. You have chosen Me to be your Lord and your God. You are now My faithful servants. I wish for you to share this message that I am about to give to you with those who are scattered throughout My kingdom.
1:2 I know you are not prepared for what I am about to tell you. I am sharing these words with you so that you may be ready, and also be strengthened through them. As you live your life with Me, there will be tests and challenges that will come at you from all sides. At times you will be overwhelmed. You need to begin now to accept these challenges with joy. Allow Me to tell you why.
1:3 When things do not go the way you expected them to go, learn to accept all things with joy. Why? Because with My help and your faith, the outcome will be that you will be made stronger.
1:4 I know what you are going through when you are facing difficulty. Life is not easy, but because of it, you will be made stronger in character and be ready for anything that confronts you. Be patient until your testing is over so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Be blessed with My love,
Jesus
