In every season—whether marked by laughter or laced with tears—there’s a steady source of joy that never fades: Jesus.
Joy in Him isn’t based on perfect circumstances. It’s rooted in His perfect love. When life feels heavy or uncertain, we can still rejoice because He is with us, strengthening us from within. His presence lifts our hearts, even in the middle of hardship.
So today, pause and let Him fill you. Rejoice in who He is. When you feel weak, lean into His joy.
Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10
