JOY, JOY, JOY

JOY.  

Joy, true joy.
There is so little of it today.
Oh there is a lot of momentary pleasure.
But it generally is gone in the morning.






But mostly we have; fear, concerns, anxieties, pain
and jealousy.   And no wonder with the mess that the
world is in today.  My friend, it is only going to get
worse.


But for true lasting joy, are we looking in the right place?
For a joy that is deep down in us and lasting.  Not dependent
on someone else.  Not on something that is temporary out of 
a bottle or a pill or a smoke.  Nor something we try to hype
up and lasts only as long as we can keep fooling ourselves.

True joy is found only from the one who gives us life anyway.
That is God Himself.  His word "The Holy Bible" has a lot to
say about joy.  The subject is brought up about two hundred
times in the Scriptures.

When Jesus Christ was talking with his disciples about abiding
in him - that is; to dwell with, reside with, live with or stay in
relationship with Christ - and obeying his commands he said,

"These things I have spoken to you so that 
My joy may be in you, and that your joy
may be made full." 
(John 15:11 NASB)  

If you want true, deep, lasting joy -
get acquainted with Jesus Christ 
the source of joy and life it's self.
