Shall we not be joyful in God?
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
The Comforter is to abide with you forever, aiding in every effort. The Holy Spirit is promised to every soul who will be a follower of Jesus. Shall we who profess to love Jesus, profess to have this great hope, which is big with immortality and full of glory, go with disconsolate hearts and mournful countenances? Why are we not all alive with love for Jesus? Why are not our hearts joyful in God, even amid trials and temptations? “My peace I give unto you.” Then why do you not take it, and show that you are indeed doers of the words of Christ? “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Shall we not be joyful in God? {The Signs of the Times}
