Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us. Wow. Such an amazing truth to experience.
No matter what we face in life, when we’re doing the Word, God rewards us with His matchless joy. His supernatural joy is everything.
It’s so amazing to be strong in Jesus when you’re weak in your body. It’s a wonderful experience to feel His sweet Presence keeping you.
Annie and I love to share how, little by little, Jesus is changing our lives. We love to pass on the joy to others as often as we can because we know the difference He is making in our lives and marriage.
8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2

We love it when He reminds us to let His peace reign in our hearts as we learn to be careful for nothing. We’re finding that, truly, the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Jesus makes all the difference.
We love you all.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
