How to have joy no matter what (Philippians 1)
Hiram Kemp
Joy (χαρά)- Biblical joy is an understanding of existence that covers both happiness and sadness and that can accept with creative submission events that bring delight and distress because true joy allows one to see beyond any one event to the sovereign Lord, who stands above all events and ultimately has control over them all.
Receive God's grace and peace - (Phillipians 1:1-2)
Remember the good things - (Phillipians 1:3-5)
“If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements, and worthwhileness I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages, or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.”
–– Audrey Hepburn
