God is eternal. He has no beginning or end. This world and all of its events, joyful or painful, was held in His hands from the beginning of time. Even in kowing all and realizing the magnitude of the pain we would bring Him, somehow the love triumphed and joy prevailed. Each day, we face some moment in our lives we do not particularly care for. Our natural tendency in to shy away from any awkward or uncomfortable moment; yet, we must remember our Heavenly Father. Let us embrace His love and emulate the joy He receives through knowing we are His. Facing each moment with the conviction that no matter the struggle goodness lies within, beyond, and through it, joy can be ours.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy." - john 16:20
