Yesterday, we learnt that the will of God is that His children should be glad and rejoice always. It is therefore your choice and an act of disobedience when you allow sadness to occupy your heart. Jesus admonished us not to give room for anxiety and worries on how our needs will be met. He identified this as the major source of sadness in many people’s lives (Matthew 6:20-30).
