True Joy

Listen from:
A CONVERTED Brahmin by the name of Dondaba, after confessing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and being baptized in His name, lost all his possessions — houses, villas, orchards, farms, money and other riches, as well as wife and children.
When someone asked him how he was able to bear such sorrow and tribulation, and whether the cross was sufficient for him in this hour of trial, he exclaimed:
“Alas, so many ask this question, but no one ever asks me how I can bear the joy that I now possess in Christ. Let me say that notwithstanding the sorrow, my soul is filled with such joy that no mortal is able to express or comprehend it.”
“Whom not having seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” 1 Peter 1:88Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: (1 Peter 1:8).
