Tears of joy will stream down their faces,
and I will lead them home with great care.
They will walk beside quiet streams
and on smooth paths where they will not stumble.
For I am Israel’s father...
JOHN 16:22 (NLT)
So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
There is incredible joy ahead as we are reunited with Christ Jesus our Savior.

When we're going through tough times the promise of better times is recharging. Perhaps we might even say "joy inducing."
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the promise of better days ahead. I confess that I allow the current challenges to suck the joy from my life. Renew my spirit through the promise of future reunion. I can endure the dark situation now knowing that joy comes in the morning. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
