Joy
" Be JOYFUL always, pray continually, give thanks in All Circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thess.5:16-17" My heart Leaps for JOY and I will give thanks to Him in song." Psalm 28:7
" You have made known to me the paths of Life; you will fill me with JOY in Your presence." Acts 2:28
" But the fruit of the Spirit is love, JOY, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control..." Galatians 5:22
The Lord has been teaching me an abundance about Joy this week. Finding Joy in situations that seem Joyless. The difference between Joy and Happiness,and how only He can bring me these things. It's amazing to see that on days where life just seems hard and kinda yucky, how we are given and unending Joy in Him that is constant and ever prevalent in even in those times; especially in those times when we need it most. Sometimes its hard to see it, and feel it, but there comes a moment in the quiet , when I am still and allow myself to experience the Joy that only He can provide. While happiness is fleeting and inconsistent and mostly based on circumstance that will inevitably change; Joy is a gift from God of which we can experience anytime and all the time and where we can find it only in Him and not within ourselves or our circumstances! What a blessing. I was certainly thankful for Joy this week. :-)
