Have you had your Joy Juice today? It helps to heal a hurting heart!
My first experiences with death were when I
lost my grandparents. I loved them and
was brokenhearted when each of them died; but I was blessed to have loving
parents who were there to fill that void for me, answering my questions and
cradling me in their arms. At that
tender age, I thought I’d always have my parents to shelter me from hurts and
soothe my aching heart.
But then came
the day, as an adult, when I had to say goodbye to my own precious daddy. Oh, what a painful time! But God was
faithful. Even through the tears, my family and I experienced such peace…and
JOY. Yes, JOY….in knowing that Daddy was
truly “at home” with His Savior. JOY in
knowing that he was no longer sick; JOY in knowing that we will see him again
one day. That’s the kind of JOY you
experience when you have a personal relationship with the Lord.
So today, I
feel compelled to ask YOU…..do you have a personal relationship with God? If not, please ask Him into your heart right
now! Don’t put it off! It’s that JOY found in Him that fills you
with strength during the difficult times.
Joy…even
amist the tears. Psalm 30:5 encourages
us by saying: “weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
I empathize with those of you who are
grieving. Let’s remind each other that
we can always drink the Joy Juice of Jesus...when we have a personal relationship with Christ.
