I encourage you to get your eyes off the troubles and turmoil that is going on in the world today and rejoice in your salvation.
1 Peter 1:3-5. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
[4] To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
[5] Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Learn to praise God for who you are, what you have and where you are going.
When you learn the secret that you can rejoice when you want to, it will make the rest of life far more bearable.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.

“God sent his son —. They called him Jesus. —. He came to love, heal and forgive. —. He lived and died —. To buy my pardon. —. An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
“Because he lives —. I can face tomorrow. —. Because he lives —. All fear is gone. —. Because I know he holds the future, — And life is worth the living, just because he lives.
“How sweet to hold —. A new-born baby —. And feel the pride And joy he gives; —. But greater still —. The calm assurance; —. This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
“And then one day —. I'll cross the river. —. I'll fight life's final war with pain. —. And then as death —. Gives way to victory; —. I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know he reigns.”
