Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? It’s with
urgency that I pray for the Lord to bless you with a double portion!
Throughout
the Bible, specific references are made to a “double portion.” That simply means….twice as much! When God
birthed JoyJoy Ministries in my heart, He gave me the passion of sharing a
DOUBLE PORTION of His JOY at every open door!
At this stage of life, I sense such
an urgency to share the love and joy of Jesus…not only through radio broadcasts
and my writing, but through the daily routines. We can ALL share the JOY of the
Lord everyday….along the way!
- Let’s tell our children and grandchildren OFTEN how much they are loved…..reminding them of Christ’s love, too!
- In caring for aging parents, remind them of the precious memories they helped to make for you and the joy they still bring to your heart.
- Be sensitive to the needs of single parents or those who have lost loved ones. Offer your help and pray for them often.
- Joyfully greet friends and strangers with a smile and offer an encouraging word.
Isaiah 6:17 spoke of a double portion of joy and blessing upon Israel: “Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.”
Let’s pray for
that “everlasting joy” to overflow from our hearts so that we might share a “double
portion” with others!
A great reminder. Words to live by!
ReplyDeleteOften times we can try to "complicate" God's word, when in all actuality living in obedience (which of course can ONLY be accomplished through the Holy Spirit) is very simple and practical. Living a joyful life can be a reality. Sharing that joy with others will naturally occur because the JOY of the Lord is contagious!!!!!!!
