Both of these friends have had, and are currently experiencing great trials in their life. But, as I was listening to a talk given by one friend in church he said that this was the best December he has ever had. As he said it you knew he was happy and at peace. While having a conversation with the other friend she was telling me how unhappy she was and how she feels like life has treated her unfairly. As I was pondering my experiences with both of these dear friends I wondered what made the difference. Why was one happy and the other miserable, when they both were experiencing hard things? Boom! It hit me like a ton of bricks. My friend that is happy, it is obvious that he has a close relationship with God and Jesus Christ. Instead of being angry over his circumstances he has chosen to be submissive to Gods will. This has brought him great peace. My friend that is miserable frequently asks the question, "Why me?". She has some anger towards God for her circumstances and feels that life hasn't been fair. I don't want to make this person out to be a bad person. She is a sweet, kind person. But struggles in putting her trust in the Lord and choosing to create a strong relationship with God and the Savior.
