Rejoicing in Trials

What do we do when trials of various kinds happen to us. We live in a world that is broken. All people go through trials of various kinds. Jesus said, whoever tries to save his life will loose, but whoever lays his life down for His sake will find it. The goal of the trials is to be formed more like Jesus Christ. Suffering is a required course in life because God loves us. If we are not willing to exercise, we will not become stronger. God will get us in shape spiritually by putting us through trials of various kinds for our good. God will make us distance runners and is looking for us to rejoice in the midst of trials. He will give a reward to those who love Him.
