Joy Comes in the Morning
“Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”
Pain doesn’t last forever. The night may feel long, but dawn is coming. God has not forgotten you in your sorrow. He collects every tear and promises that joy will rise again. Hold on. Don’t give up in the midnight hour. Morning is on the way, and with it, the joy of healing, hope, and new beginnings.
Reflection
What “night” are you enduring? Ask God to help you see the light of His joy rising in your heart.
