John 16:22 (NKJV) 22 Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Lord is encouraging the disciples here, and letting them know what is to come.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0grieving and sorrow that they will soon experience will be short lived. He will bring joy upon their hearts once again.<\/p>\n

In times of grief or anguish, trusting can be hard because we can\u2019t see ahead and know how it will play out.<\/p>\n

In that moment when everything is overwhelming, we\u00a0must trust and believe what Jesus is telling us.<\/p>\n

We often have thoughts of failing when we are going through an unknown season. It feels lonely and heavy at times.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s normal for all of us to feel. This is where we really have to\u00a0persevere and keep on doing what we know to do.<\/p>\n

Our own flesh will attack us with all kinds of \u201cwhat ifs\u201d or doubts about what we think we heard or what we are doing.<\/p>\n

In times like this, remember the reason why we are doing what we are doing, and stand firm.<\/p>\n

Know that trust is not about being able to see and have\u00a0answers right away, but knowing what we were shown or were told will come to pass in God\u2019s timing.<\/p>\n

Just as Jesus told the disciples their hearts would rejoice again, it surely happened, and better then they could have imagined!<\/p>\n

Acts 13:52 (NKJV) 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Are we having doubts today? Do we feel like Jesus has pulled back? Maybe we feel like He is silent?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be sorrowful or discouraged today. What He told you in the beginning will come. He is working out the details.<\/p>\n

Continue to believe and trust Him, even in these moments when we don\u2019t see anything happening, we don\u2019t hear anything, or when we feel sad and lonely. Keep pressing on.<\/p>\n

1 Peter 1:8 Deeply love and believe in Jesus even though you can not see Him.<\/p>\n

He is there for us and preparing things. Amen.<\/p>\n
