Weeping may go on all night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:5b

I love reading the Psalms for it touches my heart nearly every time I read it. The above passage was today’s reading and the words filled my heart with excitement.

During the past three years and nine months, my nights have been filled with weeping and sleeplessness. Yet, I knew God would be faithful and bring joy back into my life, for He has done it countless times. I took out my pink marker and underlined those words in my Bible to remind me yet again, how full my joy can be and is.

I realize joy is not always present in our lives. There are hills and valleys throughout our time on Earth. But dear reader, yet again, I am filled with JOY! And God is the giver of joy–and weeping, too. But for today, I will take the joy!!
