ഫിലി. 4:12

Let us remember that Jesus himself spoke to his disciples saying, “In the world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” In general, as children of God, we are not exempt from affliction, trouble, or trial. We have a victorious life, but that does not stop us from going through grief as Paul taught. How we react to trials speaks louder than what we preach.

The Bible tells us that "in His presence is fullness of joy" and that "the joy of the Lord is our strength". Joy isn't simply another emotion; it is a fruit of the Spirit and one of the best weapons in your arsenal to fight against discouragement, depression, and defeat. Learn what the Bible has to say about joy, and strengthening yourself to become a defiantly joyful Christian.
