God can turn your pain into joy. I know this to be true because He has done it for me, and I know I am not alone. The joy of the Lord is our strength! He turns things around no matter how much pain we have we had. The Master gives us instructions to guide us on how we are to live, to serve, and to love. Some of us tune them out, but we must pay attention, because He will guide us on how to lead a blessed life. In Genesis 50:20, we find these words:

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.”

In this deep and profound story, we can see how God turns pain into joy. Joseph’s life was full of pain. He had been betrayed by his brothers. But we know the story. What the enemy meant for evil, God worked it out for his good. In the end, he was very kind to his brothers. This a marvelous story. God blessed Joseph and turned his pain into joy. When you get a chance, read this entire chapter. See how God can make something good come out of every situation. Then know, without a shadow of a doubt, that God can, and will, turn your pain into joy.
