We never enjoy the forms our trials take.
Always quick to complain or cast in our minds that
there must be some easier, more desirable way.
But no, if we desire that good, and acceptable, and perfect way of God
then there is no other way; it must be as He has decreed.
If He chose some other way,
would it be any less painful and still
perform the intended transformation?
No we never will enjoy the trials we endure,
that is why they are so effective.
He who knows our hearts also knows
what it will take to subdue the will.
But when at once we acknowledge that God has
determined to form in us something stronger,
and to prepare in us a work more effective,
then we submit to His omniscient way
and our trial becomes a trying of our faith.
Only then by faith, can we count it all joy.
"My brethren, count it all joy
when ye fall into divers temptations;"
James 1:2
