Hello Ladies
As we are about to begin a new year, I am wondering where our joy is. Have we lost it?
C.S. Lewis says, "I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for Joy". Do we have joy...do we have uncommon Joy? In other words do we live in a state of joy that regardless who has harmed us or what has happened we still have joy?
Can we say that regardless of what happens we live in a state of constant, uncommon joy? What must we do to live in a rich contentment of joy, which cannot be affected by outside forces. What is it that you find Joy in, shopping,or other pleasures?
JOY is a actually a state of the HEART. No one can mess with your joy unless we let them. John 15:11 says I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my Joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!
Maybe we have just misplaced our joy.
It's not really gone - maybe it is hiding in a hidey-hole somewhere. Do we need to find our joy again?
Tell me what you need to do to find your JOY again.
May the God of Hope fill you with JOY and peace as you trust in Him. Romans 15:13
