More grace for the troubles!

Last month was beset with difficulties. This month looks bleak already and the first day has yet to even begin.

I could recall for you all of the worries, troubles and pains of the past month and the month to come, but I don't feel motivated enough to even think about all that.

What I do feel motivated to tell you is that no matter the situation, grace abounds! So I will be like Paul, well I believe it was Paul who said, "I count it all joy." So too will I count it all joy. All the pain and sorrow and trouble. I will count it joy because I believe that God keeps his word and those tears I cried last month will be made into tears of joy and those pains, well those will be counted as double joy.

The Lord said "My peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid." 

So while things look bleak, I will not worry. I will be joyful. His grace will be sufficient for today and tomorrow can worry about itself.

Soon his blessings will overtake me and there will be joy abundantly! I will be happier than all my friends. Believe and receive.

So let us rejoice in our troubles and praise him in our pains. Thank you Lord Jesus for you are worthy.
