Happy and joy what different words for what the world says are the same. Many times in suffering over the past decade watching my daughter come to the brink of death, I was not happy in any way. What father watching this could be happy? None with a heart.
But, through the Divine Mercy and love of God and in His Divine school of trust I did learn what joy is.
As I prayed in the icu, hands over my daughter and tears falling, I gave her totally to the Divine Will of God. ‘If You heal her I will praise and adore You always, if it be Your Will that she come home to You today, I will give You praise and glory and adore You forever, Father.’
Joy is knowing that God the Father in Jesus and through the Holy Spirit is your rock and defense even against the nightmare.
Seek Jesus, lean against the Father and find the strength through the Holy Ghost to overcome the world.
The world got nothing that can come against you or take away the joy (even when your heart breaks and you are at the lowest emotionally.
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39
If this is to be believed then, find your peace in the joy God gives. It is easily to believe the truth – just trust!
