“Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always);”
1 Thessalonians 5:16
Joy. Something that is VERY important to have in life. Especially as Christians.
One of my favorite scriptures is "let the joy of the Lord be your strength." Sometimes in life, that's all that we might have, joy. The best thing about joy and where I learned it most, is from little children who were imprisoned, some of them were these little cuties pictured above. So many times, we forget as Christians to be joyful about the simple things in this world. No matter what is going on around us, what we have, what we don't have-- we have joy. Unending joy in Christ when we serve him.
I challenge you today, to see joy in everything.
He gave us joy in exchange for our mourning, took of our dirty clothes and clothed us with gladness.
The Lord is GOOD friends. He is the only one that is good, and when we live in this world-- see him in everything. Let's be joyful, glad hearted, and rejoice!
