When I think of facing trials, “joy” isn’t my first response. It almost seems masochistic to find joy in pain or hardship. But I CAN find joy in the end result, which is strengthened faith and deeper trust in Him. The more I seek to follow His plan for me, the more joy I will experience. Even the way is difficult, knowing He walks beside me, guiding and encouraging me, brings me a joy this world will never understand. Let me grow in faith until I lack nothing, because HE is my All and Everything.
