How do your actually feel happiness for trials?
Keys:
- Realize God is using them to bring you much-needed growth.
- Realize God is bringing you through them to a blessed end.
- Realize God wants you to rejoice in trials.
When you pass the test, you pass the class!
Trials come in all sizes. Generally, beginner Christians get beginner trials. And older Christians are in advanced classes, so to speak. Don’t despair by the size of your trials.
