I loved playing soccer during my school days. So much so that even if I experienced a growing pain in my tendons, I would continue playing at the risk of serious injury. 

I enjoyed the game so much that I was willing to suffer throughout the game so I could keep playing till the end. 

Love powers us through suffering. Jesus loved us so much that He shed His precious blood on the cross for us and brought us eternity with Him. 

Love God, the joy is for now, despite the sufferings. 

So, HOW TO HAVE JOY 😊 DURING SUFFERINGS? 

Love wholeHEARTedly. 

When Paul and Silas praised God, the walls of the prison shook. There was an earthquake, chains got loose, and the gates opened. 

Both loved God and sang and praised Him during their trial of faith. Their love for God produced praises that shook literal walls. 

Dear believer, let's start with praise that shakes the walls of our hearts so we get revived in Him. Get loosened of burdens and go through the doors God opens for us onto victory. 

The end is near. Christ is coming soon. Prepare to meet Jesus. Praise God, and Amen.
