God works in our life and tests our faith not to ruin us but to strengthen us. He is involving us in His work so that we will know Him better and remind us that no matter what we have to offer God can use it for His glory.
33And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.

Jesus is Cultivating Faith
James 1:2–4 KJV 1900

Not a great faith we need, but faith in a great God. - J. Hudson Taylor
