The Sweet Treat of JOY


Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  For a treat that’s sweet to the taste and that will fill you to overflowing, make sure to have the Joy Juice of Jesus within easy reach.

Treat = Blessings
            We’re using the word “treat” this week to describe God’s blessings.  Indeed, He pours them out into our lives every day, yet so often we have our eyes closed and we miss them! Let’s open our spiritual eyes so that we can focus on all the treats that He creates for those He loves….which is you and me!

            One such treat is family.  Though family members don’t always see eye to eye on everything, there is a bond like no other.  They share common memories.  They’ve experienced heartache and laughter, fun road trips and quiet days at home, loss and gain, as well many other things that tap into every emotion. All of that pulls individuals together to make a family.

            Now, I’m not so naive as to believe that all families are happy and get along well.  But the intent of our loving heavenly Father is that we should live in His love.  That includes forgiveness. Robert Muller said: To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.”   I like to call this the JOY of the Lord!

            So, as you think about your family today, be treated with the knowledge that we have a Heavenly Father who loves us beyond measure.  How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1)

            Treat yourself to a great big serving of Joy Juice and be sure to share generously with all your family members.
