                   Joy Amidst Trials





               “Consider  it  pure  joy,  my  brothers
               and  sisters,  whenever  you  face
               trials  of  many  kinds,  because  you
               know  that  the  testing  of  your
               faith produces  perseverance.   Let
               perseverance finish its work so that
               you may be mature and complete,
               not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4

            I
               thought this must be a mistake when I
              first read this scripture; joy when you
            face trials? My first response was, “Is he
            kidding?” Then I realized – the joy is not
            because of the problems, but because of
            the character we build as we prevail.
