While life is full of problems, pain and struggle, it is also full of life, love and joy in Christ Jesus. No matter how bad the bad gets, the good in Christ is so much "gooder"!
Yesterday, God's Spirit gently reminded me of this fact. I woke up at 5:30am being reminded that my ribs are cracked and my leg is broken. I somehow managed to get out of the bed to find that my dog had gotten sick during the night. I then learned that it is very difficult to clean up "dog sickness" with a broken leg. Needless to say, at this point I was not looking forward to the day.
Then I began my prayer and study time. For some reason the word "joy" filled my mind. I began to look at all the passages that talk about joy in Christ. Jude 24 "before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy", I John 1:4 "that your joy may be full", I Peter 4:13 "you may be glad with exceeding joy", I Peter 1:8 "rejoice with joy unspeakable" and the list goes on. Basically, no matter how bad it gets, in Christ, the good is so much "gooder"! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
