Have you had your JOY JUICE today? As you drink in the joy, are your
thoughts transparent?
What if
people could tell what you were thinking every minute? Would you be pleased with what they would
learn about you?
Though we
know that God is all knowing and that He is intimately familiar with our
thoughts, we don’t always live like we believe that. Outwardly, we can pretend
to be one kind of person, but on the inside, we may be something completely
different. We may be able to mislead
people….but there’s no fooling God!
In 1 Chronicles 28:9/b (NIV) we read: “…the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts.” What does He find when He searches your
heart? Genuine love, authenticity, transparency? Or does He see a counterfeit? A phony?
We can fool others, but God sees the REAL US when He looks at our heart.
Joyce Meyer challenges us: “If you have not been working with the Holy
Spirit to break old thought patterns and form new ones, it is time to get
started. Think some good thoughts about
people, and as your attitude starts to change toward them, watch your relationships
start to change for the better.”
Not only will your thoughts be more
JOYful, but you will bring JOY to others by allowing them to see into your
transparent heart....when it reflects JESUS!
EnJOY the JOY
JUICE of Jesus by allowing God to search your heart and find genuine JOY!
