Good Morning!
On the back of a wedding anniversary card were some
wiggly lines drawn by a three year old child. Alongside was
a note from the mother explaining what the child had
written: “I’m writing a letter for your love and happy
adversity.”
The child’s mistake embodies the biblical principle of facing
difficulties with joy. From our perspective, adversity is
anything but happy. We have the idea that the Christian life
is supposed to be trouble-free, and we see little value in the
hardship.
But God sees it differently. Affliction does not come as a
thief to steal our happiness, but to ring the gift of staying
power.
Through it all, God promises us wisdom and strength.
James Chapter 1, states: Count it all joy when you fall into
various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith
produces patience. Have a happy Adversity Day!
