Happiness

Once the Apostle Paul became a Christian, he decided to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with as many as possible.� He sacrificed the possibility of having a family, or a comfortable home, or any sort of wealth, so he could travel the world and reach the masses.� He was thrown in jail, viciously beaten, stoned, and eventually beheaded.

Does that sound like an easy life?� Becoming a Christian does not mean things will suddenly go well for you- but sadly, many people are taught this.� In fact, after you become a Christian, things could get worse.� It may be worse for the rest of your life.� The difference is that you will have the God of the Universe with you to give you courage, strength, peace and comfort.

Interestingly, Paul, who suffered many trials, wrote the New Testament book of Philippians- a letter about joy! He wrote in Philippians, “…my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”� Don�t expect life to be rosy when you follow Jesus Christ.� Just expect Him to be with you! And just like Paul, you will have reason to rejoice even in bad situations.� Share this inexplicable joy with a friend today.
