A lady once told a Pastor, "You say that we should be joyful in Jesus however the outer circumstances. But how can that be...when I have a tough time with my husband?"
The Pastor replied, "Sister, I know your situation at the home front. When Jesus is with you and in you, He will help you to see your problem with His eyes. He will give you hope that no one else can give. He will give you a positive approach to your life and problems. That is the reason why I said, that we can be joyful however bad our outer circumstances. Jesus is the reason for that joy." The Pastor's words were thought provoking to the lady. She started seeing life and her situations differently. She handled her problems in a different way for she found that joy of reciprocating to her circumstances through Jesus...
John 15:11 (New International Version)
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
However bad our circumstances may look, we can look positively at it with His eyes and find hope in it. And this the joy we have, He will help us through...
There is a lot of difference in how we see things and how we see things through Jesus - when Jesus is in us... worries will not hold us or bring our lives to a grinding halt, rather His wisdom will help he continue in life fighting all odds with the peace of Christ in our Minds...
