Unending Joy
The joy that God has given me isn't something I have only when life is good or going my way. I can have it now and for eternity.
I'm glad I have eternal life because it allows me to have a broader perspective and a joy that doesn't depend on circumstances.
I remember when I was in eighth grade and my grandpa passed away: I grieved but I wasn't sad for long. I knew that my grandpa had received the gift of eternal life and I could rejoice in knowing he's where I want to be, and he's not suffering anymore. I can look at the bigger picture and know that all things work together for the good of those that love the Lord (that was my grandpa's favorite verse).
The same peace and joy that God gave me after my grandpa passed away is something I experience every day of my life. I know that without a doubt God is in control and I will spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Your testimony matters too
