I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Luke 15:7  (KJV)

To those of us who have faith we are blessed indeed to have had our eyes and ears opened, and with this blessing comes the peace of mind, body and soul.

To accept the Son of God is to know peace and eternal life.  When a sinner repents and accepts the LORD as His Savior…the angels in heaven rejoice.  When one soul is saved thanks to God and His mercy and sacrifice…there is a celebration in heaven, and likewise…a celebration within the person saved.

Through life there will always be frustrations and disappointments, sometimes things are allowed to happen for purposes according to His plan.  There is reasons for certain things to transpire, but He will be with us through it all. He will bring us through it, we need to believe and stay focused on Him and His word.

It’s hard at times to keep focused when we are pelted with trials and issues that weigh us down. But, remember when we focus on Him and trust Him our pain is no longer the object of our attention…but He is.  When we bring our full attention and praise to His gates of forgiveness and mercy…our burdens seem lighter and we’re able to get through whatever we are facing.

We as His children are commanded to rejoice at all times.  It’s a ministry.  It is a gift.  It is a product of the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

God’s divine plan will lift us up and therefore we should not wallow or despair…look towards the light and the strength which comes from Him and Him alone.

When we conform to His doctrine and walk in obedience, something beautiful happens…we’re at peace with the full realization that no matter where we are, or what we’re going through…He will never desert us…for He is with us always.

 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.    

Matthew 28:20 (KJV)

 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 

1 Corinthians 10:13  (KJV)
