Beloved–
Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. (from Romans)
Joy 2.0 So where do I get my joy when I’m told my child has cancer or when my beloved father, who had yet to celebrate his 65th birthday, wouldn’t survive his stroke? My joy comes from my salvation in Christ Jesus. When I’m in pain it’s very difficult to see the big picture but acknowledging Christ’s sovereignty over my life leads me to peace of mind and heart.
I pray for you everyday to have peace of mind and heart.
Luv Ya!
