Joy!

Joy!

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Ps 30:5). ♥️🙏🏾

Beloved, sorrow may visit for a moment, but it does not have the final word. Jesus reminds us, “You have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you” (Jn 16:22). Do not surrender your heart to sorrow, self-pity, fear, or doubt. Turn instead to Christ, who alone brings us out of darkness and transforms our pain into light and our sadness into joy. “How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! … For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light” (Ps 36:7–9). May the light of Christ restore your joy.
