Things have been really getting to me. These words came to me and I'm sure there are many others out there that might need to hear and know them. So here it is. Many don't want to hear God's words or don't believe them but here they are anyway.

James 1:2-4
 2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.



 "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the MORNING." Psalms 30:5



We are a nation of feel good. Clothes, cars, homes, drugs, friends, family. People seek happiness and joy everywhere. It just made me think of these verses and where Joy really comes from.

 I remember hearing a sermon preached on this. It was very up lifting!
Although those words are so comforting, giving reason for the hard issues we face, it's hard for me to apply in the mist of stress or unjust happenings. They are truly a wonderful way to understand sometimes why things seem to have to happen.

You don't have control over happenings or other people, but if we can apply it we can simply "Count it all Joy"
things might not get us so down.
I hope I can recall this before I feel or act in the future. And I hope it is helpful to someone else it might have been intended to read it today.
