Stay Warm with the LOVE and JOY of Jesus!



Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Whether you’re cold or warm, it’s just what you need to begin your day!

            As we bundle up in our layers of clothing to brave the frigid temperatures of winter, we may find ourselves looking forward to milder days.   In His infinite wisdom, God created the seasons so that we would appreciate each new one He gives us.

            During these winter months, we can “rejoice in the Lord” and have a “warm heart” …even when our fingers and toes are cold.  The reason: GOD’S LOVE for us NEVER grows cold.   True, we have imperfections and weaknesses…. we fall in and out of relationship with one another.  BUT… we can ALWAYS depend on our God to stand firm in His love and to be true to His promises. 

            Matthew 24:12 – 13 reminds us:  Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
           
            I have a friend who has a plaque hanging in her home that reads: “If you don’t feel as close to God as you once did, guess who moved?”   Often, we do let our busyness, job responsibilities, pleasures….even family…get in the way of our pursuit of a deeper relationship with Him.  But He is always there to welcome us back into His loving arms.

            Bundle up in His blanket of love today and bask in the warmth of a joyful relationship with Him.

            STAY WARM by drinking in the JOY JUICE that God has created especially for you. :)
