Ponder your own expressions of sorrow and rejoicing in this life. Do you feel at home with their co-existence, or do they feel mutually exclusive? How do you think God intends the sorrows of this world to shape you?
“Unending joy; lasting joy; joy that none will take away; indescribable and glorious joy”… How should these expressions of a promised ‘future joy’ reflect upon this life?
The desire for joy and reality of sorrow are not experiences unique to Christians. How could you use these thoughts above to relate to others who need the hope and joy offered in Christ alone?
As a result of your thoughts about sorrow and joy in this life and ‘future joy’ unending, what would you like to say or ask of Christ today?
