Finding Joy


Finding joy, easy or hard? Depends on the situation I suppose. Isn’t there joy to be found in ALL situations?

Yes!

So how do you find that joy?

In Jesus

It is not something earned or anything we can work for.

Joy is a gift-given by the Lord.

All we have to do is take the gift, right?

Yes!

Then what?

Do we open it and automatically become filled with joy?

Oh, that it would be that easy, that everlasting.

Easy, maybe not-everlasting-YES!

How is that-because Jesus is everlasting and all things in Him are everlasting.

So what do we do then with this gift of joy?

We just keep opening it up every day in all situations, at all times.

What does this gift look like, does it re-wrap itself?

It looks like Jesus and it always re-wraps itself and even presents itself in different ways everytime.

Is there another name for this gift, you know other than joy?

Yes!

What is it?

The Bible!

Jesus when we feel like we are all joyed out, or when we are not even sure about this thing called joy redirect us to Your Word. Amen
