I Used to Question This Verse... Until I Lived It
“Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.”— James 1:2–3
Hey my Sweet Ageless Wise Friends 🌿
I used to read that verse and shake my head. I’d think — how in the world am I supposed to rejoice in pain, heartbreak, or the moments that knock the wind out of me? Ever read a verse and thought, “Really, God? You want me to find joy in this?” That was me — until life taught me what those words really meant. 💫
But now, after walking through many of my own storms, I get it. There’s a sense of achievement and assurance that only comes when you face temptation or struggle and don’t give in.
It’s not just relief… it’s that quiet, powerful moment when your soul whispers, “See? You did it! You’re stronger than you thought! You CAN conquer temptation and Satan!!"
And that victory — that deep, peaceful kind of joy — is one of the greatest feelings I’ve ever experienced. 💛
