Joy through Pain.

Joy unexplainable Joy.
Joy through the fire and the flames.
Joy through the thick and the thin.
Joy through all of the pain I choose Joy.
Joy when it gets tough I choose Joy.
Joy.

What is your choice?
When we are drowning in pain, everything seems to be going wrong, we have a choice.  We can either choose to be overwhelmed by everything around us, let the pain get to us, and get all mad. Or we can choose to bring Joy into the situation, Rejoice even though the world seems to be caving in around us, Praise the awesome name of God when it doesn't seem right to be giving praise.  In John chapter 16:20-22 says," I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.   A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.  So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy."  Even though you may be going through birth pains now push through the pain because in the end comes a joy that no one can take away.  When you are pregnant with dreams and desires inside of you they will be pain.  Just like when a woman is pregnant she may go through morning sickness, her back may hurt, she is going to eat some funky things, and things may be a little out of place.   It is the same in the spiritual.  Things may seem out of the ordinary but push through the pain.  In the end will be unexplainable Joy that not one person can take away.   This is just something I am saying to make you feel better, it is biblical.   I just read the bible verse.   I didn't make this up.  A one way convo is pretty cool.....but what is your opinion??
