Authentic Love = Genuine JOY



          Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Nothing can take the place of authentic joy that comes from knowing you are loved!

            Do you KNOW that you can count on the promises of God?  The Bible is God’s inerrant word, and many times throughout the pages of this sacred book, we are told that God is love and that He loved us so much that He sent His Son.

            Some days we tend to believe that more than other days.  When things are going well and we don’t have any major problems, we might believe that God really loves us.  But what about when the rug is jerked out from under us and we are so hurt by circumstances that God has allowed into our lives?  Do we FEEL loved then?

            Grantley Morris writes:
            Scripture makes no promise that you will  always feel loved, nor that circumstances will always make it obvious that you are loved. God simply promises that you are loved. No suffering or tragedy will ever separate you from God’s love (Romans 8:35-39). A snap-shot in time proves nothing. Only eternity’s movies can adequately portray the infinitude of God’s love for you.” 

            Listen to the reassuring words of Romans 8:38-39: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

            One thing is certain: YOU ARE LOVED…even though some days you may forget to drink your JOY JUICE! :)
