Take Joy In Trials

^{1 Peter 1:6-9} So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.^NLT 


  This is part of the verses that I read Sunday that helped me! I didn't think I had used them for my calender, but I was wrong. Sometimes I love being wrong, because this is now one of my favorite passages.
 Days that are hard and full of trials aren't necessarily a bad thing at all. While at the moment they seem bad we just need to endure them and there will be a whole lot of joy once I go to heaven and heard Jesus say "Well done, my good and faithful servant.". Those words will make all of this worth it.
 Trials show that my faith is real, that I'm not just pretending to be a Christian, or pretending to have morals. The trials show that I am trying. It wouldn't be much of a trial if I wasn't. It's just a test, as simple as that. God already knows where our hearts are, but he wants to show us where our hearts are. This trial I am going through with Kevin will only make me stronger, if I endure.
 The best part of all, is that my be enduring this trial that I am facing in the end it will bring glory and praise to God. The very reason why I here. That is so awesome!
 This next part I guess I could have left out, but I like it. Loving someone that we can't see seems crazy to the world, but is it really? It's so easy to love someone that I can see, but to love love someone that no one has ever seen takes a whole lot of faith. The reward of this is salvation! Those who love him will go to heaven, saved from the fiery pits of hell! I can't tell you how amazing it feels to know that I am saved from that! Day Forty One Won!
