Crown of Life


"Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is 
tried, he shall receivethe crown of life, which the Lord hath
promised to them that love him." -James1:12

This water splash looks like a crown to me. "Blessed is the man that endureth tempation" to endure is to "to undergo (as a hardship) especially without giving in" or "to remain firm under suffering or misfortune without yielding". Even through temptations, we should not waiver but keep firm in the Lord. "for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him" I for sure want to get the crown of life, in the sense of eternity in heaven and in actuality the crown. So keep following the Lord because the gift is greater than any physical thing of the world. And for those who are not saved, it is not to late; get your life right with the Lord Jesus and run to Him with open arms.
