Real Joy

The Source of True Joy
 
Our world offers many temporary sources of joy. From toys for kiddos, wonderful meals, lovely jewelry, to many other material treasures .
Perhaps its different for you, but these  temporary pleasures often leave me and my selfish heart wanting more.
The Bible taught me and life with Jesus has now shown me through experience hat true joy comes from a deeper source:  my relationship with Jesus.
Joy is not something we can make happen or force. It’s a gift from God, freely given to those who trust in Him.
As we draw closer to God through building a closer relationship with Jesus, our hearts are filled with a joy that surpasses understanding.
When I choose to seek God’s will over the trials, tests, twists, turns, and temptations in my daily life  He replaces these fears with a wonderful sense of  joy within me.
Looking at all the blessing in my life of family, faith, and friends brings me endless joy.
“The joy of living we really have, even under pressure and difficulty” Big Book pg 15
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. May the joy of His birth fill our hearts and homes this Christmas season. Help us to experience Your joy in all circumstances. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:22
Have a blessed day Y’all!
