im trading my sorrows!

hey y`all!
today was pretty good. rather boring, but thats alright. i had a really hard english quiz today, so i probably didnt get a great grade on it, but it wasnt too bad. okay so in my devotion last night i read about how sorrow can last through a night, but joy will come when you put your faith in Jesus! John 16:20 says "Verily, verily I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy" about how the Deciples would be sorrowful when Jesus was crucified but joy would replace that sorrow because he will return and now hes alive forever! i also read John 16:22-24 which says "And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing, Verily, Verily I say unto you whatsoever ye shall ask the father in my name, he will give it to you. Hither to have ye asked nothing in my name: ask and ye shall recieve; that your joy may be full." which is talking about how we will have sorrows, but if we ask God in Jesus name to help us, he will. everyone has troubles and sorrows, but we cant let them affect us we have to turn it over to God, just like the song says "I'm trading my sorrows..." because hes there to help us through anything :] after you turn it over to God your not upset anymore and your happy because you know your not alone :] i cant stress that enough b/c i know how crappy i feel when i dont turn it over to God. so i've invited one person to chruch this week, 2 more to go :] and who knows, maybe more than that :]
well i love y`all!
God Bless!
