And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.

You see, when we talk about perfect trust, we're talking about what gives us roots, character, the stability to handle the hard times. Trusting God doesn't alter our circumstances. Perfect trust in Him changes us.
