Faith Words: Joy
What brings you joy? A loved one’s smile? The laughter of children? The memory of a special time spent with a friend? Joy is so important, essential to life. Joy flavors our days and sows the seeds of hope. The Lord knows we need joy, so He supplies lasting joy through His Holy Spirit. Joy is a reflection of God’s love. When His love is growing in our hearts, joy follows. So, again, what brings you joy? Being kind to a stranger? Giving to those in need? Worshipping our Lord? Joy is best enjoyed shared. Secret joy is beautiful but joy shared is magnificent. Oh, that we will look for ways to share our joy with those around us and watch the joyful ripples as it spreads from one heart to the next, and the next, and the next…. God is where the joy is. Joyfully, Patrice John 15:11 ESV These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
