My brothers and sisters, please do not be moved by what you hear or see because Satan enjoys stealing our joy and peace, so hold on to Jesus, “cling to Him” Jeremiah 13:11 for He is very faithful.
Whatever you are going through is not permanent, “1 Peter 5:10 “the Lord will Settle you, He will Establish you, He will Perfect you, and will also Strengthen you.” Nehemiah declares, “The joy of the Lord is your strength” (8:10) when one is sad, then you are automatically weak, your thoughts will become different.
Please overcome sadness by praying, and worshipping. Discover God’s purpose in your life? The will of God in your life, He will help you only if you ask. Our Precious Father, the Most High, the Sovereign Lord. Hallelujah!
Please find Joy in your situation, Jesus has done it all on the cross. Always remember God is love, even during challenging moments. I am not saying it is easy, but the Lord Jesus is there to aid us, His hands are stretched out towards you and me.
My big brother Apostle James tells us, “Count it all joy when you come under attack.” (1:2) In my experience, you will be strengthened, and character will be built in you.
What is the Lord telling you to do, or not to do? Are you being disobedient or obedient to the Lord? Are you able to keep His commandments? Is the Lord calling you for service? The book of John 15:10-11 declares, “If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in His love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”
The Lord is the giver of joy and gladness, merry heart, and sweet sleep. Love Him, trust, and hope in Him for He is our Father.
“A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.” (Proverbs 15:13) (NKJV) One feels automatically weak and ugly. Amen!
