It's difficult to have Joy in the Lord when there's so much chaos and turmoil. I sometimes wonder if God is even in charge. But God commands us to be joyful and glad in all circumstances. Are you someone who is always full of life in Christ, or are you someone who is always critical, discouraging, and negative toward others?

"Rejoice in the Lord always, I say again, rejoice!" Philippians 4:4. My challenge to you is to learn to be more joyful, to have grace, and to forgive. Also, never let anyone take your smile away from you.
