(2Co 6:3) “Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: (4 ) But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God,…(10) As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.” Yes, you can have joy in the midst of sorrow. Sorrow, like happiness, is determined by circumstance. Joy is not, but is a gift to the soul from God as it looks by faith to fulfillment of His promises.
