Joy During Trial

Life is painful. But such pain comes from greedy needs, if to be sarcastic. But it is our nature. For past several months, I have enough reasons to say that I am a big loser. Now, the most important time of this year, I am so stressful to see the unexpected outcomes. It is really hard for me to seek a joy. Even when I am waiting for something good, it is just painful during the trial.

But on earth, life is a test. Words in bible like trials, temptations, refining and testing occur more than 200 times. The trial I am in now is really a big one. From the sufferings, I should have my faith firm. I should still have faith in Jesus. Because I know that “God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out”.

God did not answer my prayers for so many times. Such frustration really makes sad. I am still hoping that God would love me like he did before. Maybe I should start to confess myself and have reflection. Did I really deserve so many blesses before? Did I thank you God for what he had done for me? Was I religious and sincere for the worship? Was I a strong and firm follower to Jesus Christ? No. Most time I did not. Self-centered consciousness keeps me away from a mature Christian. Laziness occupied most of my time.

Want a joy during trial? It is time for me to be someone that deserves such joy and will pass though the difficult time, and have more faith in Jesus at such time.

I will pass trough it. I know it. “Blessed are those who endure when they are tested”.
