How can we rejoice when we are going through so much? Because Joy is a fruit of the Spirit! We forget about that little three letter word! J-O-Y! A lot of God’s children don’t have any Joy in their Salvation. But we all need to be walking in Joy, Peace and Righteousness!
Lord help your people, we should be overflowing with Joy, look at all the Lord has done for us! How He died for us, how He came to give us life, and life more abundantly.
Joy comes in the morning, the fruit of the Spirit, Joy is part of our Salvation, rejoicing in the Lord! Other people should be able to see the Joy flowing from us, rejoicing in Jesus.
The word Joy is found in the Bible 430 times, God wants us to rejoice! Rejoice in all things, because He is our creator and maker, He knows what we need. Trust Him and rejoice in Him. Joy- A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
When someone has Joy, nothing seems to bother them, or bring them down.
