I read a devotional tonight that changed my perspective. We have all read or heard about Jesus dying on the cross for us. The passage I read tonight talked about how Jesus felt joy in his heart while dying on the cross because he knew he was dying so that we should be forgiven for our sins.
I never considered joy in the equation of being put to death. The fact that Jesus felt joy in death was something that comes full circle for us. We need Jesus when we are facing circumstances and we can find joy even in the worst of times. I never thought that would be possible. Jesus was given everlasting life just as we are. What joy he gives us.
So, do whatever you can to find the joy no matter what you are facing in life. Take care and know that when you face the challenges of life, you will be stronger and if you look hard enough, you'll find joy buried beneath the pain. Jesus was with you all along.
--God's best
