Our JOY doesn't lie in our 'circumstances'
it lies in JESUS CHRIST, *
As He's The One Who Loves us *
& Who was our 'Sacrifice'!
Our faces should 'radiate' as the sun *
being joyous as an athlete anticipating a race,
Does the world know you love JESUS
by the look you have upon your face? *
I do not say that you can't frown *
nor show 'sadness' or 'sorrow', *
But, it shouldn't 'always' stay *
on your face in each 'tomorrow'! *
We ALL experience distress & grief *
but don't let it steal your JOY, *
'Count on God' & 'Thirst' for Him *
& 'Trust Him' like a little girl or boy! *
For He's our ONLY refuge *
& is 'Faithful' to His Promises, *
Plead with Him in Prayer *
to help us stop being a 'doubting Thomas'! *
