What I Really Wantตัวอย่าง

Written by Taylor, age 11 from Rochester, New York, USA

What is a trial really? A trial is a difficult obstacle in your life that you have to overcome. For example, you may have been bullied some time in your life. If you’ve been bullied, you probably felt lonely or sad. And when that happened, you might’ve even thought, “How is there anything joyful here?” In moments like that, you can remember that God is always with you. This verse is talking about the pure joy in your trials. Maybe your trial is feeling lonely. Pure joy can be remembering that God is right there next to you. Or if you’re getting bullied, pure joy can be realizing that you have more strength than you thought. Sometimes, finding pure joy in things can be very difficult.

Next time you go through a trial of some sort, remember you can always talk to God, family, friends, a small group leader, or someone you trust for help.
