II. Joy Is Rooted in Christ's Presence
History gives us another beautiful example. Many of you know the name Fanny J. Crosby.
When she was only six weeks old, she lost her eyesight because of improper medical treatment. Throughout her life she experienced suffering and hardship. She later experienced the pain of losing a child in infancy. Humanly speaking, she had every reason to become bitter. She could have spent her life asking: "Why did this happen to me?" "Why would God allow this?" She could have lived in self-pity. But she did not. Instead, she became one of history's greatest hymn writers. She wrote over 8,000 hymns.
Many continue leading people to Christ today. "Blessed Assurance." "All the Way My Savior Leads Me." "To God Be the Glory." "Rescue the Perishing."
She once said about her conversion experience: "The Lord planted a star in my life and no cloud has ever obscured its light." (Kenneth W. Osbeck, 101 More Hymn Stories, p. 240).
What was that star? It was not physical health. It was not comfort. It was not success. It was Christ.
