My Unexpected Joy

This world is full of woes...


Ecclesiastes 8:11


..."When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong."...


No matter who you are there are sorrows and troubles in your life or around you. 


The difference in each person is if they trust the LORD with Jesus as their Savior. Believers see life here differently; we see it in God's perspective.


The BIGGEST difference ever.


John 11:33


..."These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. 


In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”


Those of us who trust in Jesus with their lives have just as many, maybe more sorrows, heart aches...but we remember the LORD to whom we belong, and if we falter we eventually remember and cry out to the One and Only who can help us through our sorrows.


1 Peter:12-13


..."Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation."...


Some day we will be with the LORD.


John 1:18 


..."No one has ever seen God.
The One and Only Son—
the One who is at the Father’s side—
He has revealed Him."...


This will be our triumph because of Jesus and it will be all Joy!


Until this certain time we can certainly find His Joy even among our many and saddest sorrows. 


Among our sadnesses in this world we can find...

Unexpected Joy!
