I am far from sad.

I am redeemed from sin
by the blood of the lamb.

I am sad for you

Looking for good where none shall be found.

Paul said this of the redeemed condition;

Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not:
but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more
I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good,
evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against
the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to
the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am!
who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God;
but with the flesh the law of sin.

You may not be able to see the joy in those
verses - but I most certainly do.

That is why I am far from sad

You feel sorry for me if it makes you "feel" better however.
