Circumstantial Joy

Joy does not depend on circumstance nor tribulation
For it's in the Lord we dance in so filled with elation
With each little sacrifice, and every trial along the way
Such a greater Price did Our Lord Jesus have to pay

Divine in Being, He became man to die for our sake
In what many aren't seeing so many not being awake
Just as He had said the narrow and the very wide gate
For so many are already dead in not realizing this fate

For true Joy is different than anything else you know
As it is Heaven sent and has to do with what you sow
Not to any charity for the Lord doesn't need your dough
But in Him it will be that this Joy you will come to know

Sunshine or rain, the brightest and darkest of seasons
Happiness, pain and there are a million more reasons
But it doesn't depend on circumstance nor tribulation 
For it's in the Lord we dance in so filled with elation   

Psalms 37:4 
Delight thyself also in the LORD; 
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Joanna Daniel Date: 5/1/2016 6:33:00 AM The joy of the Lord is what keeps me going through all the troubles in this world:) Wonderfully explained through your poem:) A 7:) Login to Reply Vincent Flannery Date: 5/3/2016 2:21:00 PM Yes. Often this life can make it difficult. Then He let's you know He is right there with you. Nearly every Bible verse I put at the end, I usually hear it within 24 hrs, but certainly 48. Often a chance thing. But it is uncanny. He is right there with each one of us. I know one thing, He loves when we Praise Him. He loved David so much even though he fell many times. But His praise of His God. The passion and the love he had for the Father. Praise the Lord! God Bless.

Cheryl Hoffman Date: 4/26/2016 7:18:00 PM Very nice Vincent! I myself need to pray more often and give my troubles over to Him!:) Login to Reply Vincent Flannery Date: 4/27/2016 1:37:00 PM Thank you Cheryl. I love to praise Him each day in prayer and thanks. And I see Hiis signs everywhere. I try not to be of this world as much as possible. But that is practically impossible. But I rely on him often throughout the day. His love for us all is so great. And his Son Jesus made us all worthy of this Love. God Bless.
