Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
(James 1:2)
Joy - that beaming light that cannot be contained, that "delight" in pursuing God, His Word, and His Work. Trials and Testing can seem like obstacles, speed bumps and roadblocks to joy, but they are not. They are bumpers on the bowling lane, those irritating reflectors dug deep in the roadway, to keep us on track. God is forming our character, a big part of which is joy, not only despite all these "pains", but actually through all these things. Have some joy today!
