From Pain to Destiny?

This is rather inspirational, once again, from Os Hillman...

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything" (James 1:2-5).

God often allows pain to ignite destiny in our lives. Without motivation, many of us would never fulfill the purposes for which God created us. Oftentimes a measured assault invades our life and creates a depth of pain that all we know to do is press into God with all our being. "

Maybe the message for me for this time is just "Perseverance"? I recall looking at a hotel in Melbourne called "Perseverance Hotel" and just going.. wow... there's a hotel named like this?

Haha..
