A Daily Devotional

About a life full of joy:

1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. (NIV)

No way can you have a life full of joy???? No way can you have joy in all the pain, suffering, problems, and other stuff we have to live with or live through????

Ah, but the secret to a full life, especially a life full of joy is to live in spite of the darkness. Instead of living in reaction to the darkness, live in spite of bad things happening. Live before bad things happen. Win Christ's prize by reacting to pain by praising God. Win Christ's prize by reacting to problems by praying to God. Win Christ's prize by reacting to darkness with hope by keeping the flame of hope alive within you. In spite of all the stagnation and sometimes desperation put upon you by the darkness, construct and build as God wills. In the heart of God there is always joy. To have a life full of joy, have a heart full of God in spite of the pain, suffering, problems and stuff we have to live through. In the heart of God resides all joy, when you say, "Please Lord, let your joy be in me." Then He will answer you and He will place His joy within you.
