The Gospel of Joy

There are times when it's just really hard to delight in or take joy in your circumstances. Maybe you're doing great, but your mom is dying right now,. Your best friend is not doing well, your sister is going through a divorce. How do you feel joy then? Our nation is in a little bit of disrepair right now and just like how do we live with joy? The gospel as best as I can tell, one way of saying it is that no matter what your circumstances are, whether you're rich or poor or healthy or sick  you can have access to God the Father through Jesus.
