“Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.” - John 16:22
Jesus was speaking to His disciples and doing His best to prepare them for hard days that would soon be upon them. They would soon watch Him be crucified and buried, and it would like the end of all their hopes and dreams. But He could see more than they could. What seemed like overwhelming heartache would soon give way to the most glorious moment ever. As we trust the Lord, we may go through tough times, but those times are not the end. The Lord is with you, and joy is right around the corner! Take heart, better days are coming!
