JOY---The Treat That Can't be Beat!


Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It’s a treat that can’t be beat!

            This time of year we notice God’s beautiful handiwork as He pulls out His paintbrush & strokes beautiful reds, oranges and golds onto the summer-time foliage creating the autumn leaves.  Fall is God’s special treat to us after the long, hot days of summer.  Each new season is a welcome change and brings with it special treats for the time of year.  He wants us to enjoy His creation….but so often we get caught up in the “busyness” and simply take it for granted.

God's Treats

            It’s the last week in October, but instead of spending our time thinking about “Trick or Treating”, why don’t we focus our thoughts on how God gives us treats every day?  Let’s pull out our JOY magnifying glass and take an up-close-and-personal look at how each new day is packed full of treats from our Maker.

            The first treat he wants to put in our treat bag is so big that you’ll want to share it with others.  It’s called: the LOVE of God.

            There are hundreds of verses in the Bible that tell of God’s love, but one of the simplest to remember is found in 1 John 4:8: GOD IS LOVE.
           
            God proved His love for us by sending His Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for our sins.  You talk about a “treat that surpasses all”.  That’s a treat created with indescribable LOVE and JOY.

            Open your heart and receive the treat of God’s love...and JOY!
