Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It’s such a refreshing drink on a beautiful spring
morning!
Don’t you
love the change of the seasons?
Springtime…especially… is such a time of refreshment and renewal. Flowers bloom, the grass turns green. And oh, the beautiful melodies of the
songbirds welcoming the new season! It fills my heart with joy. I woke up this morning to a choir right
outside my bedroom window. It was if the
birds were praising God for such a beautiful day.
Did you
awaken with a song in your heart? Or are
you in a “winter” moment? Are
circumstances burdening you down? Do you
have a heavy heart? If so, may I remind
you that we don’t have to wait until everything is perfect in our lives to
praise the Lord! We can choose to
“practice joy” even when our hearts are breaking. This takes a lot of faith and
the determination to find the JOY in all situations. Only when we have a personal, committed
relationship with Christ, can this be possible!
As we
celebrate a new spring, maybe it’s time that we open up the windows of our
hearts and let in the fresh cleansing power of the Holy Spirit. Let’s allow Him to wash away the dirt and
grime that has accumulated in our hearts, and give us a fresh start…with Him as
The Cleansing Agent. The writer of Psalm 33:3 challenges us:
Won't you join me in a song of joy as we welcome the fresh JOY of Jesus into our hearts!
