Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."
Things happen that can make us sad, but we should feel peace in knowing that God is a God of hope. Sometimes it's hard to be joyful living in this world, but even in times of stress we have a reason to be joyful. God is the perfect reason to smile! The Bible also says -
Psalm 5:11
"But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you."
In fact, there's even a song about joy." I've got the Joy Joy Joy Joy down in my heart! Down in my heart to stay! And I'm so happy, so very happy! I have the love of Jesus in my heart!"
With God in control, how can we NOT rejoice?? He's got everything taken care of! Now shine that smile for everyone to see and when some one asks you why you're so happy, you can tell them about the joy that only Jesus can bring! After all, if God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)
