Because we know that trials and difficulties can serve a higher purpose, allowing us to grow in faith and character, we can count it all joy. Joy is not dependent on external circumstances, but rather on our trust in God's faithfulness and the hope of eternal life. Through hardships, we are refined, and our dependence on God deepens. This perspective encourages us to embrace challenges as opportunities for spiritual growth, knowing that God is at work in our lives, shaping us into His image.
