From the Minister's Study
Jesus helps bring you joy amid your troubles
BY REV. VIC JAMIESON
BRUSSELS AND BELGRAVE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES
To be always joyful in spite of the
circumstances of our lives is one of
our most basic human desires.
Such joy is part ofthe fruit of the
Holy Spirit that only God can give
uswhenwe surrender control of
our lives to Jesus Christ as our
Lord.
Galatians 5: 22-23 tells us: “But
the fruit ofthe Spirit is live, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, good
ness, faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control. Those who belong to
Jesus Christ have crucified the
sinful nature with its passions and
desires.’’ The work of the Holy
Spirit is an on-going season of Lent
bringing us to surrender and grow
in the holiness of Jesus Christ. We
cannot take any credit for it.
Until we realize that the Holy
Spirit is trying to tell everyone to

Clara T. Snelling (Kirkconnell)
passed away at the Port Colborne
Hospital Feb. 13, 1988 in her 84th
year.

ters, Thelma Snelling and Eleanor

Colborne, three grandchildren,
one great-grandchild, and one
brother Andrew Kirkconnell of
Brussels.

Cemetery, Port Colborne.
put his/her complete faith in the
only true God who fully revealed
himself as our Lord and Saviour in
Jesus Christ, we are separated
from God and even from other
people. Acts 4: 12 says that:
“Salvation is found in no one else,
forthereisnoother name under
heaven given to man by which we
must be saved.”
People who are separated from
God cannot be joyful when troubles
occur in their lives. James 1: 2-4
points out that enduring joy that
only those committed to Jesus’
lordship and constantly feeding on
scripture, praying and witnessing
for Jesus’sake know: “Consider it
pure joy, my brothers, whenever
you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing
of your faith develops perserver-
ance. Perserverance must finish its
work so that you may be mature
and complete, not lacking any
thing.”
Only Jesus can forgive our sins
which are the reason for our
separation from God and his pure
joy. To receive it, we need to bow
before God and confess to him our
error of putting the love for
ourselves, certain people in our
lives, our achievements or posses
sions, our work, etc. as greater
than our desire to do what Jesus
wants us to do. To keep it flowing,
have regular fellowship with peo
ple who truly love Jesus, talk to him
in prayer, hear him through
studying the scriptures and other
ways, and share Him with people
who are looking for his joy amid
their troubles.
