When we face trials – v2

Not sadness but joy
not struggle but journey
hope in this life
when we face trials

A gift from our God
perseverance growing
layers of wisdom
maturity in faith

That we may serve
loving our neighbors
having walked in their shoes
trials in this life

We are to be joyful
happy in each moment
striving in this life
to fight the good fight
