A HAPPY AND JOYOUS DAY

“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”

Revelation 21:23 KJV

Rev. William Orcutt Cushing wrote one of my favorite hymns about Jesus coming back for us “There’ll Be No Dark Valley”.  Yes, when Jesus comes back for us, there will be happiness and rejoicing.  All sorrow, pain and crying will be gone and we won’t have to run and hide in terror from someone hitting us.

If you are discouraged and feel all alone, remember Jesus understands how you feel.  I’m sure He felt discouraged and alone many times.  Instead of dwelling on the valleys we are going through; let’s remember there is going to be a happy and joyous day when Jesus comes back for us.

Jesus is not only the light of the world, He is also the light in our heart.  When we are sad and hurting because we have been criticized or rejected, we need to remember that the light of Jesus is still shining brightly in our heart.  Thank God for our loving Saviour and His light.
