God’s Joy :)

There can be no doubt that the road to the Great Harvest will be difficult. Many of us have already faced very difficult times already. But the Joy that God gives to us, the Joy that comes with accepting Christ, is not effected by our circumstances.

And if we don’t have God’s Joy right now, we should ask God for it! For God will be happy we did and so will we 🙂

Earthly joy is often dependent on our circumstances. For example, are we healthy? Do we have enough money? Do we have a job we enjoy? Is our family doing well? Do we live where we want? All of these and more, if they are as we wish, can make us really happy.

But what if our circumstances are not as we wish? What if we are really sick or can’t walk? What if someone we love is really not doing well? What if our nation is at war? What if we were blind or deaf? What if we were homeless? What if our job is one that we hate, but we need to do it to pay our bills? All of these are different types of circumstances that could make us very unhappy. Not joyous at all…

But God’s Joy withstands our circumstances. It is also a Joy that can not be taken or altered by anyone but God. It allows us to be Joyful, even in the face of horrific circumstances. So pray now to be filled with God’s Joy, for we never know when we might have to face difficult circumstances. Just as we know that we will have to face difficult circumstances during our journey to the Great Harvest.

Praying for you that you may be filled with God’s Joy-Always!
