Yes my friend......thank you for allowing me to see that...
true joy is that which is found in all those who have discovered God in the most diverse situations and circumstances of life. And true peace is not the absence of conflict, tensions or war but the presence of God in our life. Joy and peace then is founded on a life of faith, on supernatural hope, on loving surrender to a loving God.
This kind of peace and joy is a very special kind because it endures in the midst of all trials and even in the darkest moments of our life. It rises over the present no matter how hard this may be or seem to be. Sadness and hopelessness comes to us when we place our hearts in ourselves and things that we believe will make us happy, thus in the end we find loneliness and sorrow.
Yes my friend, the greatest error I could make is to base my life on false security of material well-being, on human prestige, on money and things of little or no consequence at all. To place God first and ourself second is the beginning and basis of joy and peace. To live our faith is to live in a new light, serene and cheerful as God sees it. He is our source of joy and peace.
Help me then for I know your love will see me through in all this. This is not a mindless resignation my friend but an abandonment of a child to his Father's benevolence. I know without hardship there is no great victory...it is not by the impulse of its wings that bird flies but also by the resistance in the air. As long as I believe in God there will always be joy and peace. Don't you ever let me go my friend. I put my trust in you.

Hello Norie,
A wonderful passage to read, thank you.
Mankind needs to look deeper into their hearts for through God Peace and Joy is everlasting. There are many great divides between people that should not exist, in the face of our Father we are all created equal - and equal we are. We have the ability to help one another, to show love and compassion, even when times are at there darkest...God does not desert us, mankind does.
God Bless you.
