Joy

I have had this thought for the past couple of days God has really been challenging me on this, and my mind has been pondering it and i even went to a group last night and the topic was Putting your Joy in Christ. So I asked my self is my Joy in Christ. and easily I said yes, of course! But I thought about, I asked myself what if I lost my job, all my money was taken away, my friends left, and everyother thing in my life went wrong. Would I be able to turn around look to the sky and say"God you are so good, and I love you with all my heart!?" I could not answer as quickly I honestly thought about it.. and it is hard to stick your self in situations that you have never been in but I tried hard to imagine waht I would say.

God is our infinite Joy it is one the promises he gives us through his Holy Spirit who dwells/lives in me and anyone who says Jesus is Lord. And Joy is gladdness in the heart something that cannot be tampered with, no matter what. This is such an amazing thing God has given us, he is our provider, our Father, and so no matter what happens he is going to take care of us that is why He gives us everlasting Joy because when we aknowledge it, when bad things happen it sucks dont get me wrong but we can continue to turn to God, our Father and say God you are good, and I love you no matter what!." and without a doubt I know with confidence God will show up and fufill his promises. because he is faithful.

I want to come to this point in my life, what ever happens in my life having the confidence that God is faithful in his word that what ever happens I can look up and smile and say "How could this dampen my spirit, God I love you, you are soo good to me."


²⁵"These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. ²⁶But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 14:25-27
