The source of our joy is the LORD, the Trinity in its fullness: God the Father is the maker of heaven and earth. He created all the beautiful, wonderful things we enjoy. Jesus (God the Son) is our redeemer and friend, our intercessor, and our Savior. God the Holy Spirit dwells in us, comforting us, guiding us...

I know Pain sometimes wins. There are just days we can’t rally, but we serve the Suffering Savior, a personal God who GETS Pain, who doesn't abandon us. Pain is how we share in the sufferings of Christ.
