TURNING GRIEF INTO JOY
It has been a TOUGH
Couple of years=but Jesus
Was an EXPERT=in
TURNING grief into JOY
Today=on the day of the ASCENSION
We celebrate his FINAL VICTORY=
All we have to do
Is ASK
Our Lord=will give it to us
“ASK and you will receive=
So that your JOY
May be complete” John 16:24
The LOVE of God-
The love of Jesus=
How great that is
All we have to do is ask
And he WILL
TURN our grief into joy
Can you COMPREHAND
The vastness of this
Love of God and Jesus for us=
Just how amazing it is
Just to be in their presence=
To be in THEIR JOY
“For the Lord
Your God
Will bless you-
In all your harvest
And in-all the work
Of your hands
And your JOY
WILL BE COMPLETE” Deuteronomy 16:15
“Fill my heart WITH JOY
When their grain-
And new wine abound” Psalm 4:7
“Deceit is in the hearts
Of those who plot evil=
But those who promote peace
HAVE JOY” Proverbs 12:20
God wants us to
Have JOY=simply because
HE LOVES US=
And he wants us to
EXPERIENCE his joy and
Good in this life
He wants to TURN
Our grief=into joy
He just wants us to ASK
To be bold
What we have to UNDERSTAND
Is that it is NOT ARROGANCE
Or an assumption
To ask God
To TURN our grief=into joy
It is a CLAIM OF FAITH=
A simple belief=
That God our heavenly and adopted Father
Holds good things
For us in his HEART
“But the angel said
To them=
'Do not be afraid-
I bring you good news
That will cause GREAT JOY
For all his people'” Luke 2:10
“I have told you this
So that MY JOY
May be in you
And that your JOY
May be complete” John 15:11
“Consider it PURE JOY
My brothers and sisters
Whenever you face trials
Of many kinds
Because you know
That the testing of your faith
Produces perseverance” James 1:2
God wants to TURN our grief
INTO JOY=because he loves us=
He simply wants us to ASK-
Be bold=be confident
And you will receive
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our EVER JOYFUL FATHER
