1 Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
As we weather the storms of life and see God come through time and again, we can actually learn to develop a spirit of praise.
We find that our unseen Savior sees us through every trial.
He ever abides with his own.
He will never leave us nor forsake us - Heb. 13:5;
His grace is always sufficient for every need - 2 Cor. 12:9.
This ought to cause us to be filled with that unspeakable joy full of glory.
Joy Unspeakable

I have found His grace is all complete, — He supplieth every need; — While I sit and learn at Jesus’ feet, — I am free, yes, free indeed.
Chorus:
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, — Full of glory, full of glory; — It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, — Oh, the half has never yet been told.
I have found the pleasure I once craved, — It is joy and peace within; — What a wondrous blessing, I am saved — From the awful gulf of sin.
I have found that hope so bright and clear, — Living in the realm of grace; — Oh, the Savior’s presence is so near, — I can see His smiling face.
I have found the joy no tongue can tell, — How it’s waves of glory roll. — It is like a great o’erflowing well, — Springing up within my soul.
