Christians have Joy and Sorrow Intermingled
Psalm 51:12
Restore to me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.


The estate of a Christian is not always one; joy and sorrow are intermingled; he hath a summer of joys and a winter of griefs. St. Paul had the messenger of Satan to buffet him, that he should not be exalted above measure with his great revelations. After a Christian hath mourned, he will rejoice.

(A. Symson.)
