Joy

Joy isn't always wrapped in ecstasy. Sometimes it is the tear-stained contentment that comes after a dark stormy night. I begin to realize that despite the current sorrow, tomorrow eventually dawns and the Father of my soul will use today's darkness to bring to fruition a greater good. It is the clam I am finding as I learn to trust that while I may not see the direct cause and effect of what I am currently experiencing, there is a bigger picture, and the end will be brighter than today.
