Never Doubt! Shout for JOY!

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Never doubt that you are God’s special child.  Drink in His joy and you will find security in relationship with Him.

            Do you find yourself doubting at times?  Doubting God’s love?  Doubting that He hears your prayers?  At times do you sense God leading you to do something and you doubt your ability to do it?  Our old enemy (Satan) uses doubt as one of his tools of discouragement…to keep us from being all that God intends for us to be.  Yes, we are limited in our human abilities.  But our GOD is limitless!

            Dr. Neil Anderson wrote: “One reason we doubt God’s love is that we have an adversary who uses every little offense to accuse us of being good-for-nothings. But your advocate Jesus Christ is more powerful than your adversary.  He has cancelled the debt of your sins past, present and future.  No matter what you do or how you fail, God has no reason not to love you and accept you completely.”

            We’re all going to fail from time to time.  We may fail to be the best spouse or parent that we can be; we may make unwise choices; we may fail to always set a good example to those who are looking up to us.  But no matter how many times we fail or how much we stumble, GOD STILL LOVES US!  As Romans 8:1 reminds us: 

                 “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

            Even in our failures, we never have to doubt God’s love and acceptance.  What JOY that should bring to each of our hearts!
