Sorrow to Joy

joy sunn

In John 16:21-22 we read that a woman experiences sorrow when she has to give birth, but after having her child, she has overwhelming joy. 

In the same way, we will experience sorrow and trials, but it will never last forever. As the saying goes, “This too shall pass.” 

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

John 16:22 ESV

We need to be so focused on God that our joy will not be affected by our circumstances, but steadfast in Him. Circumstances will change every day, but God is constant. 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Hebrews 13:8 ESV

Let’s focus on God’s constant love and abundance. We know that He is in control.

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1 - NKJV
