For You grant him lasting blessings; You give him great joy by allowing him into Your presence. Psalms 21:6 NET

Hebrews 12:2 NET keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

For a moment lets think back, look at all He has done for us and all that He is to us! Let’s pivot our stance, eyes fixed on God, it will lift us up above our circumstances.

When we Become followers of Jesus, He empowers us to rise above the conditions in our life. He fills us with Holy Spirit, who has limitless power. 

John 14:3 NET And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with Me, so that where I am you may be too.

Whoa! Jesus promises that He will come back and take those, who believe in His life, death and resurrection, to be with Hm in heaven—that we may be where He is forever. Whenever the world is looking dark, we will brighten our perspective by focusing on Him. 

Philippians 4:4-6 NET Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice! Let everyone see your gentleness. The Lord is near! Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.

Friends, He is our Strength. It is vital to keep our Joy alive, especially when we are in the throes of adversity.

Whenever we are struggling with difficulties, we need to guard our thoughts and spoken words carefully. If we focus too much on all the things that are wrong, we will become increasingly discouraged—and our strength will be sapped. As soon as you realize what is happening, stop this hurtful process immediately.

Holy Spirit is waiting, He offers us His peace offering “Turn to Me, asking Me to help you with all your struggles”. Rejoice.
