Everything in your life may not be perfect, it never will be; BUT we do serve a perfect God, so as long as you are abide in Jesus and His word abide in you, everything is going to be alright. You may have a had a double dose of trouble and more than your share of contempt, but now you're about to receive double for your trouble and will have everlasting joy! SO rejoice in the Lord always, again I say REJOICE!!
