Experiencing True Joy in the Midst of the Cross
Joy is a fruit of the Spirit that can only flourish when we are utterly convinced that our lives are held within the hands of our loving Father. We must believe with every fiber of our being that nothing can touch us without His consent and that He only allows what can bring about abundant good fruit.
The Experience of Joy
Joy is a supernatural gift from the Holy Spirit, one of the fruits, an outpouring of God’s love. When I experience joy, I have an up-lifting of my entire being to God, my heart is overflowing with His love, and it flows out to those around me.
Joy Complete in Jesus
“I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete” (Jn. 15:11). Jesus is promising us the same experience of joy He has in the Father which is a giving in all fullness.
Going Outside of Ourselves Brings True Joy
Together let us praise God for the gifts He has given to you and to me! If each of us can find opportunities to translate our gifts into reaching out to help others solve their challenges, our life will overflow with joy.
The Weightiness of Joy
Joy. It’s not a fleeting feeling. It’s not something superficial, a moment of euphoria. There’s something more substantial to it, something grounded about it.
