Hope, Joy, Peace

Categories: Hope, Joy, Peace, Trials

In the middle of trouble
I can have hope, joy and peace
A relationship with God
That never will cease.

So although in this world
Suffering and trials increase
Through everything; everywhere
I can have hope, joy and peace.

For Jesus Christ has promised
That if I simply believe
I’ll be reconciled to God
Peace and forgiveness receive.

Ruth Jessup

Poem based on John 16:33

“You may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows but take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
