Believers have reason to be joyful every moment of every day. It doesn't matter what transpires in the political, economic, military, or even social realms. Those events are hear and gone like a wisp of smoke. Therefore, we who follow Christ do not depend on them for happiness or comfort.
Our greatest joy comes from these words ...
Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.
Matthew 9:2 [NKJV]
The Christan's sins ... all of his sins ... have been forgiven. If you do not have this assurance, then know that, today, the Lord stands with arms open wide, ready to forgive you. By His grace, you will learn to obey Him, to hear Him, and to pray to Him. And by that same grace, which is sufficient for all things, you will receive comfort, joy and a peace that is beyond all understanding.
Be encouraged, Jose
