TOTD, Jan 24

Rejoice Now!

Despite your problems, your trials, and your temptations, be assured that you will benefit in the end. So look to the end and rejoice now!

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
--- James 1:2-4


My own reflection on this Thought:
* Most of us will say: " I'll be happy when... or I'll be happy if..."
And when we have already reached that kind of condition, we'll wonder once more, " Am I happy now? " Because it seems that we still feel some emptiness inside.
God ask us to rejoice in whatever condition we're facing now. Not an easy task, but it is a mission possible because He's with us all the way...
Rejoice in all our problems, trials, or miseries because we believe, these all will lead us to be a better person, knowing that God will give enough strength for us to endure, as long as we cling to the Lord... (-fon-)
