"When troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing". James 1:1-4
The point is not to pretend to be happy but to have a positive outlook when we face trouble. Tough times can teach us perseverance.
We can't really know the depth of our character until we are put under pressure. Instead of complaining about our struggles, we should try as much as we can to see them as opportunity for growth.
Be patient, for God will not leave us alone with our problems, He will always stay close to help us grow. This is His promise.

Troubles stretch your faith indeed. May we always look back at how God delivered us through our previous seasons of trials, and remember that He is as faithful today as He has been yesterday.
Thanks for the reminder. Time and time again I have testify on God's faithfulness to us. But each time I'm faced with new challenges & trials, the first thing I do is...whine & doubt :( I hate that. I really hope I can be more trusting and stop trying to take control.
Learning...no wonder He keeps sending me more problem :P Cos I still cannot graduate! 要加油哦!
