Desperation is better than despair. When all the odds are against us we can still rely on the power, goodness, and fidelity of God.
A godly mother asked her wayward son where he was going as he took up his cap to go out. ’To Hell,’ was the heartless reply. He slammed the door behind him, and went out into the darkness. The mother went upstairs, and flung herself into the arms of God, weeping bitter tears for her son. He went to the public house (pub), but as he put his hand on the door something arrested him and he could not go in. The same thing occurred at three public houses in succession. His conscience was awake. He sought out a meeting and gave his heart to God. The mother’s tears were turned to joy.
Cast your burden upon the Lord. Call upon Him in the day of trouble. He is able to deliver.
When did God last turn your tears into joy?
