Don't Waste a Tiny Drop of JOY!



Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Don’t waste one tiny bit!

            Do you sometimes think you have wasted a part of your life because of poor decisions you’ve made or because things didn’t work out according to your plans?  Often we are so focused on what we should have done or what could have been, that we miss opportunities to shine for Him today.

            Instead of giving in to feelings of guilt and frustration, bundle it all up and give it to Jesus!  When He takes it….we’re released…and can start fresh and anew! Ask God to replace the “hold” your past has on you with a new love for Him.  When you accept Christ as your Savior and Lord, you are a new creation…just as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”

            Let’s read that again:  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”

            If you are having trouble letting go of the past, allow the truth of this scripture to take hold of your heart.  Just as God changed Paul from a persecutor of Christians to a preacher for Christ, He can change you. God didn’t waste any part of Paul—his background, his training, his citizenship, his mind or even his weaknesses.  Are you willing to let God do the same for you?  You will never know all he can do with you until you allow him to have all of you!

            Don’t waste another minute!  Put the past behind you and look forward to a JOYful future with Christ!
