I wish that I could be happy enough to leap for joy all of the time. Sadly, life happens and we all face moments of loss, sadness, grief, unhappiness and despair. How we handle these moments often define how long they last.
I have learned the hard way to take every season of my life to The Lord. No matter how bad things may become, I have learned that if I lean onto my Master’s shoulders, these periods become moments to learn. The thing that has stayed with me is that if I have The Lord with me, no matter how long the burden may last; it is so much easier when I reach for His Hand and follow His lead.
The pain is still real, but nothing comforts or soothes me like knowing that I am not alone, because The God of The Universe is carrying me each step of the way. When I think like that, I certainly want to leap for joy!
Lord, thank You because no matter where I am or how I am feeling, You are protecting me as I travel this earthly journey. Thank You Jesus for never forsaking me. Thank You for turning the darkest situations into joy as I turn to You Lord. I trust You with not just the big things in my life, but all things both great and small. For You alone are able to turn my weeping into “Joy!” You dry my tears and paint a beautiful sky to remind me that rain or sunshine I have nothing to fear because I am forever Yours. Thank You Lord Jesus! I will praise Your Holy Name today and for all of eternity. Amen!
In His Service,
