"Just because we love God, we are not exempt from trials"  Remember! God is in control.

1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations. 

James makes the statement that when you fall, not if you fall.  This life will have divers (which means many) of temptations (which is a form of testing) whether from the world and Satan or from God unto which godly Christians fall.  Just because we love God, we are not exempt from adversaries. Your negative experiences are to be accepted with joy, not for the trail itself but because of the positive work God can accomplish through the testing. Nothing in this world can happen unless God orchestrate  or allow. God is in control and has designs everything that happens in your life, so learn to trust him. The joy James is speaking of can only be accomplished if you have the blessed assurance that you are a child of God. Once you know who you are and understand that there is different between happy and joy you will understand that joy stand in the mist of a storm and happy is blown away by the winds of the storm.  Even in our temptation, trails and testing the scripture tells us that if we love the Lord, He will work it out. Temptation is enticement or invitation to sin.  You should know that Satin is the greater tempter and God is the greatest deliverer. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able: but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
