Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12

It’s easy to be joyful when things are going well, but the Bible is filled with verses like this that challenge us to rejoice when times are tough—when stock markets crumble, diseases spread across the planet and life comes to an abrupt STOP.

Let’s rejoice IN hope–the Hope that only Jesus Christ can offer. The hope that tomorrow will be better than today. The patient, indomitable hope that endures the wait, reassuring us that everything will be all right.

Be joyful. Have hope. Be positive.
