Rejoice in Trials

Be very happy in a test,
Knowing you do your very best;
Both trials and tribulations,
Bring on joy with celebrations.

Your faith produces endurance,
To strengthen your perseverance;
So endure till testing is done,
And know that victory is won.

For you are able to mature,
When you continue to endure;
And you will not need anything,
From whatever it just may bring.

By chance you do have any needs,
Then just ask God in prayer for seeds;
For to be planted in your brain,
With flowing love falling like rain.

Those seeds will grow into wisdom,
From the plants grown in His Kingdom;
They give knowledge what you should do,
For a trial to make it through.

God is generous with each one,
That is a kin onto His Son;
And with them will never find fault,
Who worships Him for to exalt.
