I'm being told to be grateful for the weariness

Hi Jeff,
That is perfect what you just said, the first time I did what you just said something special happen inwardly, it reaching out in faith.
When your thankful for something you don’t want to be thankful for that’s when something spiritual happens.
God says be thankful for all things, so be thankful for all things, its easy to be thankful for the good things isn’t it ? But not so easy to be thankful for the bad things which is a part of causing our growth too !
But I must say its God who causes us to be thankful for all things.
God bless. ;)

What an amazing testimony brother. What a wonderful response to something that almost nobody would understand save those here. Your witness is affirming. Thank you for sharing that. It's a beautiful thing to be connected to the body of Christ.
Dave - thank you for your wise counsel, admonition, affirmation, and commitment to the ministry of our Savior and this forum.
I'm blessed to be here.

1 Peter 4:11-12
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
1 Peter 1:2-9
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience, But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
God bless,
Alex
