Rejoicing

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.

Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
