His (Agape) love, which is greater than any difference we possess.

Read James 1:2-4. What good do these tests produce?
________________________________________________________
Many times when our faith is on trial, we also experience temptation
to sin. We may find ourselves feeling bad, or having bad thoughts, or
bad circumstances. We will be trying to believe what God has said
about His love and faithfulness, and we will get a thought or impulse
to lose faith and do something wrong. This is a temptation, and can
come anytime, even when we aren’t in a trial.

If you asked a cloud about the wind, he would say ; “What wind? I
just move.” He goes wherever the wind blows. But, if you asked a
tree about the wind, he would know about it because he fights against
it everyday. This is a picture of our past and present relationship with
the devil and temptation.

________________________________________________________
It is not a sin to be tempted. It is only a sin when we give into
temptation. Even Jesus, Himself, experienced temptation.
