Do you realize that there is so much joy and happiness to be found in this life and in this world that we live in? It may not seem like it sometimes because of all the negativity in the air these days. Turn off the television, get off your phone and computer, and connect with family, friends, and church. Spending time with my kids and grandkids brings me such joy and fulfillment.
When you are struggling, look to the people and things that make you happy. Don't wallow in the muck and mire of your circumstances. Do not retreat into a place of doubt and self pity. Instead, move forward and lay hold of your faith in God!
We used to say "keep on keepin' on!" Never let your faith waiver, no matter what you are going through or how long you are going through it. God will sustain you through whatever trials and tribulations come your way. Choose joy and praise him in the midst of your struggles and he will reward you for your faithfulness!
James 1:12 (TPT) - "If your faith remains strong, even while surrounded by life's difficulties, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God! True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every lover of God!"
