Thursday, September 3, 2015 "Count it all Joy"

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds." James 1:2

I have learned to embrace every stage of life.  If you are single, embrace your singleness. Don't dwell or obsess about being married, embrace where you are.  Same goes for when you are married, embrace being married and do not dwell or obsess about being single.  Through my spiritual journey I can honestly say I know what it is like to be in the palace and in the pit. I have had great wealth and poverty in my life. I have experienced great loss.  The truth is we all will have stages and/or seasons of time that are more joyful than others. When we learn to embrace it all and count it all joy, we will have a deeper peace and understanding. We can't avoid trials therefore why try? What we can do is maintain a positive mindset at all times. In doing this, we can learn how to embrace everything that comes our way and in doing so, God is glorified.
