1 Peter 1:3-12

There is no excuse - a Christian cannot be without joy.  Even trials cannot take away the joy and experience that our savior, Jesus Christ, came, lived, died and rose again for us all - and this is personal to you and I (if you believe)!  This is something that surprises me.  There are so many who act as if this life is all there is.  They act as if everything is crushing them and making them collapse.  We have a hope that is bigger than this.  We have a promise that sustains it all.  Live out this promise today!
