Contagious Symptoms of JOY

            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Please drink it so faithfully that you’ll find yourself with the contagious symptoms of JOY.

            Have you been bitten by the “Joy Bug”?!  I hope and pray that you get caught up in the epidemic of JOY.   The “Joy Bug” is no respecter of persons:

• Age
• Gender
• Education
• Wealth or lack thereof….none of that matters.

But there is one common indicator…Every person who “catches” this joy germ, has to have been exposed to JESUS!  Do you know Him as your personal friend?  Until you allow Him into your heart and life, there’s no way for you to experience the contagious symptoms of genuine JOY.

      Yes, we might be happy when things are going our way; when we have something new; when our relationships are trouble free, when we’re enjoying the things that give us pleasure.  But what happens when we lose these things? We, also, lose our happiness.  The JOY of Jesus is not contingent on external circumstances.  It’s the security of an unconditional love and acceptance of Christ.  He has promised never, NEVER to leave us and that includes the bad times, as well as the good.

            Hebrews 13:5 is a joyful promise to each of us…God says: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

            Catch the contagious “JOY germ” and be the cause of an epidemic of JOY in your home, at work and throughout your community!
