Celebration in Hard Times
Joy comes when we discipline ourselves to celebrate. In the Bible God commands six feasts and only one fast. That`s a six to one ratio. It just goes to show, God`s a party animal. God commands us to celebrate. It is a discipline of celebration. So celebrate even when times are hard. As I`ve told you before, in our house on Sundays, we have chocolate milk all day long just to remind us that Jesus is good. Go have a "joy day, " do things that give you joy, maybe not happiness but joy, because even when things are hard, when we celebrate it reminds us that there`s always at least one good thing in life. At least one, and usually two, or more. Get close to Jesus, die to self and build his kingdom, celebrate.

Now right now, some of you might be saying, "Whoa. Wait a minute Scott. You do not understand. There is no way I can have joy right now. You don`t understand. I just got the bad news from the doctor, or my kid won`t talk to me, or I`m going through a divorce. You don`t understand." Those things are very real, and they are very hard, and they are very painful. And I don`t think joy means running around with a fake smile on our face pretending that things don`t hurt when they do. That`s not joy, that`s phony, and God doesn`t ask us to be phony. But what the Bible promises is that as we get close to Jesus, build his kingdom, celebrate, obey his commands ''which Jesus says were made to give us joy not make us miserable'', yes there will still be pain in life but God will give us a gift of confidence, wholeness, and joy that transcends what`s going on.

COMFORTER
Jesus said in His own words that when He leave that the Father would send us a comforter and thats the Holy Spirit who would be here with us with everything that we have to go through. He will give us peace and joy beyond all understanding.  We would find rest in Him leaving us with NO worries if we only believe and trust in Him.  When we are sad and can't see our way through just know that Jesus is their seeing that we are taken care of.

Jesus has promised us in his word the Bible that Joy Cometh in the moring. Weeping may endure for a night. In contrast he using the birth of a child when a woman gives birth she is in pain but afterwards she is happy. But, when you grieve you are tearful but Jesus is saying that he will see us again and he will wipe away every tear.   I believe him do you?

Challenges as the foundation of strength
Challenges    come our  way   to   make  us more  stronger, the    hardest   challenge  it is  the  greatest  impact    it   will create . For    during the sorrow  God  always remember us ,  the more  we get closer to God  for  we cannot  recognize  help and  kindness   of  others   if  we   don't  suffer from this  because  there is no place  of understanding   others ......

comfort for the sorrowful
we may weep during the night and have saddness because of such a hard life and trouble.  bills are all due and not enough money to fill those needs but if we look to the hills from which all our help comes from we will find everlasting joy.  never to worry because JESUS has everthing we need.  If we only think of His goodness how can we not have joy.

Jesus Assures a Better Future
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." (Matthew 5:3-4)

Jesus Points to a Lasting Joy

 "I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." ( John 16:20-22)
