" BE ALWAYS JOYFUL "

Good Morning To You,

It's so good to see you today and It's my pleasure to share with you. This week we will discuss " JOY ". The act of being joyful when it's not easy. Joy in the Christian life is in direct proportion as believers walk with the Lord. They can rejoice because they are in the Lord. You see joy is a fruit of a spirit led life. Sin in a believers life robs the person of their joy. Joy in the Lord enables people to enjoy all that God has given. As Christians we should rejoice in family, food, celebrations, and fellowship. They share with other believers the joys and sorrows of life. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, weep with them that weep.

Now, the Word Of God also says that I WILL TURN THEIR MOURNING INTO JOY AND WILL COMFORT THEM AND GIVE THEM JOY FOR THEIR SORROW. You know that it's OK to shout aloud with joy. Have you ever felt motionlessness in your spiritual walk, I mean totally stagnant? If so has sin ever driven a wedge between you and the Lord, making Him seem somewhat distant? The Father wants us to be close to Him and to always experience His full and complete life. But sin that remains un-confessed makes such intimacy impossible. Confess your sin(s) to God. You may still have to face earthly consequences, but God will give back the joy of your relationship with Him.

Synonymous words for Joy: happiness, pleasure, delight, gladness, merriment, felicity, and enjoyment. The word Joy is found over 150 times in the Bible. Now if such words as "Joyous" and "Joyful" are included, the number comes to over 200. OK, joy is the fruit of a right relationship with the Father. My dictionary says: Joy is a feeling of happiness that comes from success, good fortune, or a sense of well-being... pleasure, bliss... rejoice. Listen I'm aware that bad stuff happens in our lives, but TRUST GOD anyway.

FINALLY,BRETHREN, BE JOYFUL, SECURE PERFECTION OF CHARACTER, TAKE COURAGE BE OF ONE MIND, LIVE IN PEACE. AND THEN GOD WHO GIVES LOVE AND PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU (2 Cor 13:11).

Until Next Time...
Jim
