Dearly Beloved,
I am trying to encourage you to expect suffering and embrace tribulations as opportunities for growth in this present world. Doing this “with joy” is showing you that the choice is yours to make. Joy is a fruit of the spirit. Choosing the mindset that “this too shall pass,” is helpful and rewarding in developing proven Christ-like character. It is vitally important not to resist God’s work in our lives. Stay focused and obey the voice of the Holy Spirit, so that truth will always prevail in your life and you will be a resilient overcomer.
