Faced with Trials

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the suffering of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. -1 Peter 4:12-13- Every time I read this verses, I think of someone. Sometimes I can't help but to ask God "What kind of joy are you planning to give? This trial that person is suffering seems too painful!" But yes, Christ's suffering on the cross cannot be compared to anything in this world. That's why she can still rejoice in her suffering because her hope from trusting in God overpowers the painful trials right now. True joy always come when you finally obey to his promises...
