Pure Joy!

Looking around the room it does not appear to be a likely place for joy.  When I listen to reports, they leave little space for hope. Walking around hospital corridors, I see the faces of many individuals who are in the midst of serious health challenges.

Then, I pray…
Reminding myself  of the character of God.  God is Sovereign, Trustworthy, Faithful, Forgiving, Full of Mercy, Author and Finisher of My Faith…
Then, I cannot help but be full of joy.  God is good.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, when you face many trials of many kinds, because you know that testing of your faith produces perseverance.
James 1: 2 -3 (NIV)
