Become Transformed from Sorrow into Joy
Most of us would agree that no matter when or where you live, or how much or how little possessions you own, this world is full of sorrow and trouble. In America, there's an entire sub culture and marketplace dedicated to help you escape the blues and doldrums and to be happy all the time. Self-help gurus have been peddling their methods for decades and recently many men who stand in pulpits have taken up their cry of happiness and peace and joy all the time- if you think right, give right, do right, live right. Many Christians' prayer lives revolve our "replacement" requests- replace this person, replace this job, replace this child, replace this broken thing, etc, for a new one. A better one. And THEN I'll be happy. Its all so fleeting and temporary and...cheap. Christ knew all about sorrow and helping those around us who are suffering. He talked about a joy that can't be taken away, a joy that comes from the sorrow. A sorrow that is transformed into joy!
