Joy



This month's virture, JOY: finding a way to be happy even when things don't go your way.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Phil 4:4

Honestly, I'm struggling in this one this month. Things have seemed trying lately on all fronts. However, with my faith placed in Christ and a hope to come, I am trusting that joy and happiness will return!

Psalm 27:

7-9 Listen, God, I'm calling at the top of my lungs:
"Be good to me! Answer me!"
When my heart whispered, "Seek God,"
my whole being replied,
"I'm seeking him!"
Don't hide from me now!

9-10 You've always been right there for me;
don't turn your back on me now.
Don't throw me out, don't abandon me;
you've always kept the door open.
My father and mother walked out and left me,
but God took me in.

11-12 Point me down your highway, God;
direct me along a well-lighted street;
show my enemies whose side you're on.
Don't throw me to the dogs,
those liars who are out to get me,
filling the air with their threats.

13-14 I'm sure now I'll see God's goodness
in the exuberant earth.
Stay with God!
Take heart. Don't quit.
I'll say it again:
Stay with God.

I am, Like David, sure that we will see God's goodness. I look forward to experiencing it with you my love!
