By: Ellen G. White
The quest for joy often becomes a mad scramble for pleasure, fame, and wealth. Many seek to fill their inner void with something other than Jesus. This always leads to disappointment and, eventually, to discouragement. In despair, the first impulse is to dwell on the mistakes, failures, and disappointments of the past.
For such a predicament, only joy in Jesus can bring peace. And this joy begins with realizing that our true home is in heaven. Life on earth is temporary.
Rejoicing in the Lord represents Ellen White’s timeless thoughts on these grand themes. Drawn from Steps to Christ, The Ministry of Healing, and The Desire of Ages, her words are a steady guide to joyful living in a difficult world.
