Trials and Temptations May Have Different Outcome

"Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him." (James 1:12 King James Version)

Trials and temptations may have different outcome.

It will either break you or make you, hurt you or help you, bless you or burden you.

It will draw you closer to God or draw you closer to the devil.
Trials and temptations will keep you from sinning or make you commit more sins.

It's just a matter of choice and a matter of where you stand. Or it doesn't really matter for you.

But one thing for sure; Jesus will not leave you or forsake you.

"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. 14- If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15- But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16- Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf." (I Peter 4:12- 16 KJV)
