How’s your joy? Could it be that you’re struggling through some troubling times and that your joy is fading fast? Let the Lord restore His joy in you…joy that is yours because of Jesus in your life. And if He’s not there, then trust in Him by faith. Receive His free gift of salvation…receive His joy.
Psalm 51:12
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.
1 Peter 1:3-9
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
“Joy originates in God. It comes through Jesus, His Son. And it is the fruit of His Spirit. Those who embrace Jesus as their Savior and treasure, by the power of the Spirit, for the glory of the Father, enter into that Trinitarian joy.” ~ John Piper
The Lord bless you and keep you….
