Joy?
Marlene:
Hello, Every day it seems like I see more and more of Gods love since coming in here. I suffer, daily with pain in my body. But, since knowing Gods love for all his children it just brings great Joy.
God's love makes all the difference. Resting in him helps us endure our trials . Love can win us over that is for sure. Thats, how it is going to be for all once shown the truth. They have no idea what they are missing. I just, ask God every day to teach me to me more like him.
I have great joy knowing I have all of you for a Brother and Sister and that if we suffer we can cry together. This is a place where you know you fit in.
Well, I believe Ray has great joy even though he is going through hard trials.
I thank God always for all of you.
In His Love,
Marlene

We can count it all Joy and grow, or be doubleminded and doubting thomas-es. Yes i do count it all Joy, because it is true and gives one victory over anything this world can throw at us. This is how life should be lived for believers now, depending on GOD And our Lord Jesus Christ for every little thing.
The beginning of wisdom for each of us is knowing that of ourselves, we really can do nothing. BUT our Advocate Jesus Christ The Righteous King, Is Able to do Exceedingly Abundantly beyond anything our minds can yet conceive or access even.
Jas 1: 5-11 (CLV)
5 Now if anyone of you is lacking wisdom, let him be requesting it from God, Who is giving to all generously and is not reproaching, and it shall be given to him."
6 Yet let him be requesting in faith, doubting nothing, for he who is doubting simulates a surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed."
7 For let not that man be surmising that he shall be obtaining anything from the Lord -
8 a man double-souled, turbulent in all his ways."
9 Now let the humble brother be glorying in his exaltation,
10 yet the rich in his humiliation, for, as the flower of grass, shall he pass by."
11 For the sun rises, together with the scorching heat, and withers the grass, and its flower falls off, and the comeliness of its aspect perished. Thus the rich also in his goings shall be caused to fade."

Heb 12:1 Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
v. 2 looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.
v. 3 For consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and faint in your minds.
Jesus Christ found "joy" in going to the cross, His joy was in what His suffering would produce. He did not enjoy what He had to do, but actually "despised" it.
So if we too can trust that the Father has our own best interest at heart in everything that we endure in this life, then I think we too can find 'joy.' Because we have Christ's example that whatever we must go through the end result will be worth it.
1Peter 4:12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
v. 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
mercy, peace and love
