The Foundation of Joy

Jesus told us, "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Peace comes when we face the struggle with obedient faith. What is tested by the struggle is our love and our will. No matter what the circumstances, no matter what the cost, will we love Him enough to be obedient, to do His will, and to leave the consequences to Him. The struggle is the foundation for joy.
