Hello! Welcome to my blog! I have recorded past journal entries from devotional journaling as well as nature and travel photos. It is my aim to pass on the encouragement of the Lord to other sisters in Christ.

Joy amidst Sorrow

I hear the Lord say:

Sorrow can be heavy. Its weight is a burden and it drags at your soul. You feel lifeless and may feel that it will never end. There is a place for sorrow, a time for grieving, a period of mourning, which is a part of life’s journey. But it is not the whole journey. The journey of life also includes joy, happiness, laughter and peace. Because of My great love for you, you can experience joy after sorrow, peace after pain, and laughter after mourning. I, Jesus, came that you might have abundant life. There is a joy that flows from My throne, which tumbles and tickles, which springs up from a deep well of love and peace. This source of joy is never ending. It is available for the asking. It is offered readily and with wild abandon. This joy is yours, this joy is ours, this joy is forevermore.

I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure. John 10:10 CJB
