    This is exactly what I'm going through. Loneliness, isolation and being burnt out. This message gave me hope.

    This felt like this sermon was for me. I’ve felt broken, lost, defeated, loneliness, helpless, worthless, and undeserving. I needed to hear this it sits on my heart. I DO have hope.

    Jesus, my Lord and my friend. I know things weren't always on an even keel between us. Let's face it, there were times I flat out disobeyed you. I am not that person anymore, and I have your love and grace to thank for that. My wish on this advent is just simply to strengthen our bond. The world tore us apart, but I pray in Jesus name that the kingdom of Heaven will draw us together. I love you my Lord and Savior..☺️❤️✝️🕊️🙏

    Hawayu Life Church *& I Appreciate Guest Pst. Sam Roberts Together With Life Church 4 This Great, Powerful, Blessful, Deep Sermon on ""Joy Is Closer Than Yu Think!"Where I Have Learnt That:- 1. Joy Isn't An Emotion, It's a Choice, 2. The Greatest Enemy of Joy Is Destruction & 3. That We Focus on The"One Days", Not on Todays Where The Biblical Chapter Is Luke 12 Where The Joy of The LORD Is Our Strength & Rejoice In The Lord & Again We Say Rejoice Written In Nehemiah **8:10** & Philippians 4:4 4 I Have Been Blessed By Guest Pst.

    Along with that lovable song (which I used a lot on the church bus when I worked with that ministry, such a blessing)… I would also recommend Old Church Choir by Zach Williams with the lyrics; “Nothing can steal my joy!”
    Both songs are easy to come to mind in those moments when the subject of joy is brought up.

    Great sermon. It really made me stop and think. I’ve been guilty of not recognizing the importance of the moment and totally enjoying time with family. The last part of the sermon with the family pictures hit me like a ton of bricks. I forfeited so much trying to make a living and trying to figure out Gods purpose for my life. I don’t want to do that ever again! Thank you Blessings!!! P.s. I’m 55 and I’m pretty sure I sang that song in Sunday School as a child.

      Father, I lift up this relationship to You, asking for Your guidance and peace. Lord, if it is Your will, bring clarity, healing, and understanding to both hearts. If this relationship is meant to continue, guide them both through this time of uncertainty. But if it is not Your will, I pray for strength and peace to move forward in Your plan. May Your will be done, and may they both experience Your love and direction. In Jesus' name, Amen.
