Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! {Philippians 4:4}
The mark of a Christians walk should be the joy with which he/she approaches each new day. No matter how difficult the circumstances in which we find ourselves, we carry in our hearts the presence of God. And in the presence of God there is fullness of joy {Psalm 16:11}. This joy is based on the knowledge that God is good and God is in control, and in all things will work out for our good, as we love Him and walk in His purpose and plan for our lives. It is a joy that the world finds difficult to understand, because their joy is circumstancial. Having said that, As we grow in Christ, we find that the fruit of the Holy Spirit {Galatians 5:22-23} increases in us. Our perspective on events changes, and we are able to see in each circumstance a glimpse of the joy that comes from the presence of God. God Bless your walk today!
