On this Second Sunday of Easter, we are reminded that no matter where we are in our journey, there is reason for joy - a joy that is not dependent on circumstances:
What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole.
(1 Peter 1:3-9 - The Message)
Life is not easy, and we face many challenges. But God never leaves our side, and He brings good out of it all.
