Rejoicing in times of trail is not easy and if you don't have a genuine relationship with the LORD then it's about impossible to rejoice in the midst of trials but what I have found over the many years of being a Christian is the MORE I experience His love, the deeper I love Him and the deeper I love Him, the more I rejoice in Him and the more that I rejoice in Him the LESS I focus on the trials. Not to suggest the trials are real when they come but when you can hear bad news, experience something very painful and unexpected and still stand in the middle of your kitchen with tears running down and your hands up raised to glory with shouts of Hallelujah God! I love You! I love You all the more regardless of what the enemy tries to do! I belong to YOU!! I belong to YOU!! I'm telling you that it's liberating! not to mention it's a slap in the enemy's face every time we praise the LORD in the midst of our troubles and more importantly it HONORS OUR GOD when we rejoice regardless of the circumstance.<BR/><BR/>It was a LOT OF YEARS of growth in grace for me to get to that point of not complaining or falling apart when hell rose up against me but ONCE I GOT THE REVELATION there was no turning back and it's been that way for years and we've gone through some serious situations but GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY has kept us always and I rejoice and give GOD ALL THE PRAISE!<BR/><BR/>I thank you Charlene for your heart for our LORD and your heart to share the truths He lays upon your heart. I also appreciate being able to share with all of you this day.<BR/><BR/>Love you and Merry Christmas.<BR/><BR/>"This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it"!!!LisaShawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847564334928464883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079423230484017111.post-25401272827233207672008-12-19T01:13:00.000-08:002008-12-19T01:13:00.000-08:00Amen...

A Beautiful reminder of that unspeakable joy! :) :) When we suffer, His love and support and strength is the strongest... 2Corinthians 12:10 "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." When we are weak, then HIS strength shines through our lives if we have faith and depend on Him! :)Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304537325454972400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079423230484017111.post-79742797034129761212008-12-18T18:01:00.000-08:002008-12-18T18:01:00.000-08:00Charlene, your devotions always leave me with a lo...Charlene, your devotions always leave me with a load lifted from my shoulders and in awe of Him.Lady Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191109869380687691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079423230484017111.post-85444121278227738142008-12-18T15:00:00.000-08:002008-12-18T15:00:00.000-08:00We can rejoice knowing we'll spend eternity with G...We can rejoice knowing we'll spend eternity with God. As you said, life here on earth is so short compared to eternity. It will be wonderful to live with God. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for reminding me about rejoicing.
