Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you & help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. —We live in a fallen world that is tainted by sin, sickness, disease, & death. These are not easy to deal with, sometimes it even feels like a wrestling match that we can’t even win! — James 1:2-4 Dear brothers & sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for JOY. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character & ready for anything. — If we can allow His Joy to fill our hurt, pain, loss, & sadness.
Prov 17:22 “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”— We can find JOY knowing that in Heaven no one has colds, headaches, allergies, upset stomachs, heart disease, cancer or any other sickness or disease! Praise God! Love Mel
