Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Do you have a best friend? I’ll guess a certain name and face popped into your
mind. Good friends are truly joyful
blessings. BUT I’d like to remind you
that our BEST FRIEND should always be Jesus!
If we don’t
spend time trying to get to know Jesus by reading the scriptures and spending
time in His presence, then we are not growing spiritually.

Munger wrote an article entitled, “My Heart, Christ’s Home”. Does that describe
you? Has Jesus set up residency in your
heart? What we must all come to realize
is the true devotion...
·
is not a
duty. It is a delight!
· it is not
an exercise in piety. It is a privilege.
· and it is
not so much a visit as it is a homecoming.
Munger goes on to say, “Without
question one of the most remarkable Christian doctrines is that Jesus Christ
Himself through the presence of the Holy Spirit will actually enter a heart,
settle down and be at home there. Jesus
came into the darkness of my heart (he says) and turned on the light. He
built a fire in the cold hearth and banished the chill. He started music where there had been
stillness and He filled the emptiness with His own loving, wonderful
fellowship.”
Isn’t that beautiful description
of how Jesus can enter your heart and life …and become your best friend?!
Open your heart and let Jesus come in to
stay! That’s when you’ll have a heart of true, genuine JOY!
