James 1:2-4 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

Following God will not always be easy and sometimes he will place trials into our lives. When these trials are presented we need to realize that God is having us grow in these moments and be thankful for the hardships he puts us through.
