PERMANENT JOY
1 Thessalonians 5:16
"Be joyful always." NIV
"Rejoice evermore." KJV
How can we be joyful all the time, especially in this world with such trials and stresses? For the natural man it is impossible. For the born again child of God, joy is ongoing. We have this joy because we know the things of this world are temporary and what is waiting for us is eternal life and perfect fellowship with our Saviour.
Heavenly Father, so many times we let the things of this world rob us of our joy. Help us Lord, to always remember who we are and what we have waiting for us, so that our joy will remain forever. In Jesus' name. Amen

How true that the world can distract us from our joy. Yet, the blessing of seeing Him all around us and the awareness is the gift.
Blessings, Karen
