An Abundantly JOYful 2013 is My Prayer for YOU!

Have you had your Joy Juice today?  May you have an abundance of Joy Juice in this New Year! So much that you’ll be sharing with others the whole year through!

            If I could have one wish for each of you as this new year begins, it would be that 2013 will be filled with JOY and contentment.   We know that there will be days that will bring struggles.  We won’t always be happy.  But we can choose how we react to our circumstances.

            We can choose to be grumpy and complain when things don’t go our way; or we can face each challenge with a smile and know that God is there to walk with us through it!  We can approach a problem with doom and gloom, focusing on all the negatives…or we can look toward the “light” and trust that God has it all under control.

            In John 16:33 Jesus said: "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."  In other words, Jesus will not abandon us. We have hope in knowing that the ultimate victory has already been won, therefore we can claim the peace and joy of Christ even in the most troublesome times. 

            So start out this new year with a JOYful perspective.  When you find yourself in a difficult situation, choose to walk through that time with the attitude of Christ, because He is walking right beside you, filling you with His strength and JOY.

Drink your Joy Juice faithfully each day of the New Year!  And have a JOY-filled 2013!
