One thing I have realized is that the Christian life is an uphill climb. It’s not easy and I never was promised an easy life. But don’t get me wrong, it’s worth it. It is through trials that we are made steadfast. I have slowly been learning this and I am realizing more and more that blessings are received through trial. Through my trials the Lord is strengthening me and making me more like Him. Trials are fruitful soil. I have been learning to be content and joyful through trials and struggles. It is through the trying times that my Godly character can shine through and through this I can be an example to others. When we persevere to the end there is a reward that awaits us in Heaven.
James 1:2-4 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
