The Giving Spirit of JOY

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  When you give some away, there is sure to be JOY coming your way!

GIVE JOY!     

      Do you have a giving spirit? Most of us don’t mind sharing… until it begins to be a sacrifice. Think of the brave military men and women who serve our country.  They are often expected to give up time with their precious families and the comforts of home; they even have to put their lives on the line many times.  That’s sacrificial giving.  

THE Supreme Sacrifice

             In Romans 8:32 we are reminded of the supreme sacrifice: He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

            Many years ago, Jesus died on the cross…gave his very life…for you and me.  That was God’s plan from the beginning.  And He continues to “graciously give us all things”.  He knows our needs and has a plan to take care of us.  The problem comes when we don’t trust Him enough, so we take matters into our own hands.

            When we trust Christ for salvation, we must remember that NOTHING can separate us from His love.  And with that love comes protection,  provision and wisdom…plus so much more! Oh, yes…and JOY, of course!

            Make Jesus your role model and give sacrificially.  When we’re giving to others, we’ll have extra JOY JUICE to share!
