James encourages us to consider it joy when we fall into trials. How can we do that? Trials are difficult – that’s why they are called trials! However, it’s only in the midst of trials that we are able to grow. In the middle of the struggle remember that God chose you and loves you. Things may be horrible, but the God of this world chose you to be His child and this gives us the strength to fight off the doubts and comparisons that we are prone to.
