Everlasting Kind of Joy

Your Outlook Matters

Don't fake it till you make it, face it till you make it

James didn't say if you face trials, he said whenever you face trials because it is gonna happen!!!

The point isn't to pretend to be happy, its to look at the bigger picture of your growing faith, What can we

learn?

David understood something about facing trials, even self-inflicted when he wrote Ps 51:1-12 and 51:15-17


Don't allow mistakes to rob your joy

God desires an intimate relationship, that of an immeasurable love and trust

When you repent God removes that guilt and shame

Show others that might be in a mess too, that redemption is as simple as confessing and walking in the

light


Don't waste time and energy focusing on the trial, our joy comes from knowing and trusting that God is good from everlasting to everlasting. Our joy is in our salvation
