The Purpose Of Trials - James 1: 2
Life is filled with trials of all kinds
as a Christian this also is so true
but God has a purpose in mind
so to sanctify us live Christ in view
Remember joy is something we can count
and this is pure joy, come from higher lights
such a joy is God ordained and felt within
this comes not from earth but a heavenly sight
God here speaks to His own special elect
through His servant James His voice piece
shows His special love for His very own
bringing God's gifts for His own to collect
The Lord prepares us for our trials
they come in many and various forms
but the Lord gives strength and grace
to withstand the force of these storms
It is through our storms of life we face
that we grow deeper in our God given faith
to know our God each and every day
ask and receive so your joy be full God saith
("Count it pure joy my brothers and sisters, when you face trials of many kinds.)
James 1: 2
