You will show me the path of life: in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures forever more. Psalm 16:11 Amplified
He has shown me the path of life that is only found in Jesus Christ.
What is joy?
It is cultivated in our lives as we are in continual fellowship with the Lord. In Philippians 4:4 Paul tells us to Rejoice in the Lord always[delight, gladden yourselves in Him] again I say rejoice.
Let’s face it the Christian Life is a hard one but the rewards are worth it. I know it has been hard on me and I know others would say the same thing. Think about this for a moment would rather face all the trails and temptations in life with God, the One who was tempted in every way that we are and Who is with us every moment of the day or would rather face it alone. Life is scary enough as it is without having to feel that you are a lone crusader in this world. Even though we may not acknowledge that Christ is with us and He is and others can see it too. They may want to know what makes you different? How can you forgive someone who hurt you so much. Are you going to cower in the corner and not say what you believe? Think on this if the apostles had kept quiet about their faith would any of of us be Christians now?
