“Seeking Joy out of Desperation”

How much of your life have you wasted by worrying about the things that you have no control over? I was sitting here last night just crying my heart out, making myself even more miserable over something so foolish. I look back on it today and realize how I wasted precious time out of my life. I wonder would it of been a better use of time if I had reached out to someone else who might be going thru something a lot worse than I am. I know that I am loved with an everlasting love, why do I need or care if someone here on earth thinks I am good enough, or pretty enough. In the long run what does it all really mean? If I allow the sinful things to continue, what will my position with God be?



Do we really think God isn’t aware of the suffering we are going thru, is not a little suffering worth it when we realize what the Glory of God has in store for us. I realize I am free to spend my time with whom I wish, rather that’s with my nieces or nephews or my sisters and brothers, or even friends on the internet, but there is no one I rather spend time with other than my Heavenly Father. Just to sit alone in His presence and talk to Him about all this stuff that is getting to me. When was the last time you just stopped what you were doing and picked up the phone and called someone you knew was having a hard day? What we have to remember is that not one good thing will He withhold from us that walk uprightly. If you are blessed and are walking upright and God has given your health, a roof over your head, it’s because God knows your heart and what you are doing on His behalf. God will fill your soul.


The bible teaches us that Joy is loves strength. Even when we are in severe pain, we should praise God and give Him joy and gladness of heart, for He knows our future. He awaits you; He is there when you are ready to ask Him for His healing touch in your life. It is important for us to remember that there are greater things than just the material things of this world, and even greater Joy than the happiness the world can offer to us. Having Joy will give you the strength needed to overcome all pain and suffering that you will face here.


God loves you, that is reason to be joyful in all things that you do…do not dwell on the bad, give those things to God and find the good. God bless you my friends!
