Problems - Character Building Blocks

James 1:3-4 (Life Recovery Bible) For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.  So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready  for anything.

Problems are inevitable in our recovery. As we face problems we need to look at them as character building blocks. With God's help as we overcome them we get stronger.

Problems are puroseful. Each one permitted by God to develop Christ like characteristics in us  so we can mature in our daily recovery walks.

Handling problems leads to a reward.  James 1:12  God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Step Seven involves the transformation of our character

Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
