Subject: where is the joy of my salvation? |
Bible Note: thank you so much for your words. if you were to ask the average person in my circle of friends, my family and my peers, they wonder how I can stay uplifted most of the time, even through my trials and I then have the privledge of telling them of God's grace and how His strength and knowing He is in control of all things gets me through my day, even the tough cicumstances. I'm emensly greatful to him that in all other areas other than the deep joy that I understand that a Christian is supposed to have, that He has given me so much peace about day to day living and allows me to draw on His strength during times of trial to remain calm. But when I hear the stories of a few Christians that speak of the overwhelming joy, I start to wonder what is wrong with me. I begin to think something is wrong with me, then leading me to question my salvation. your words give me hope that I am not a lost cause. i have talked to my neighbor, who is also a serving, loving Christian who feels the same way. I will share your words with her also. thanks again. God bless you too. Linda |
