“ I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,”
Psalms 70:4 May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!”

Psalms 97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
Isaiah 65:13 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame; behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, but you shall cry out for pain of heart and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
Lamentations 3:25 The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
“You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.”
Remembering who God is and the blessings that come from Him alone are the reasons for rejoicing. Those who seek Him will find Him and be blessed. Their heart will see reasons to rejoice and be glad. On the other hand those who do not seek Him will not find Him and will not have joy or peace or gladness in their heart. These are the ones we are to show God’s love. These are the ones we are to pray for. These are the ones who we can be used by God to reach. Remember we too were just like them, lost and without hope. Rejoice in God and be willingly to be used by Him.
