When we choose to actively live in King Jesus, the hardships, difficulties and frustrations we go through with Him, are vital parts of Him intimately shepherding us through a process in stripping us down from other dependencies and pride. All so that we may be able to fully receive from Abba, and value what He gives us. He has indeed called us to a joyous lifestyle, and King Jesus shepherds us into it. Praise King Jesus, all things BUT Him are temporary and so we will choose to always rejoice.
