Jesus knew how hard life is.

Jesus knew how hard life is.

I know them, you know them. The Christians who claim to happy, all the time.

Granted, God Brings us much joy. We know that we have eternal life, we know that we have an All-Powerful God looking out for our best interests. This does bring joy.

But, this does not mean that we are supposed to walk around with a smile plastered on their faces. We have troubles, we have doubts, we have questions.

Yes, Jesus died on the Cross, our sins are covered by his blood. But this does not mean that the bills are paid.

Jesus knew our lives would be hard. He spoke of a cross to carry. He said we would be persecuted. He did not say we would have no burdens, He just said that He can help you carry them.

Next time you see a "Happy Christian" do not feel like you are something less. Know that Christ loves you, even when you are unhappy. Know that He knows you better than you Know yourself, an know that joy is to come, even if you do not feel it now.
