Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Whether you’re cold or warm, it’s the perfect
drink!
As we
bundle up in our layers of clothing to brave the cold temperatures of late, we
may find ourselves looking forward to milder days and lots of warm
sunshine. In His infinite wisdom, God
created the seasons so that we would appreciate and look forward each new one
He gives us.
During
these winter months, we can “rejoice in the Lord”…even when our fingers and
toes are cold. The reason: HIS LOVE for
us NEVER will grow cold. That truth
alone should warm our hearts! Yes, we
have imperfections and weaknesses…. we fall in and out of relationship with one
another. Our love for other people can
grow cold, if we are not prayerful and careful.
BUT… we can ALWAYS depend on our God to stand firm in His love and to be
true to His promises.
Matthew
24:12 – 13 reminds us: "Because
of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but
he who stands firm to the end will be saved."
I have a
friend who has a plaque hanging in her home that reads: “If you don’t feel as
close to God as you once did, guess who moved?”
You see, God never leaves us! But
often, we let our busyness, job responsibilities, pleasure….even family get in
the way of our pursuit of a deeper relationship with Him.
Bundle up
in His blanket of love today and bask in the warmth of a joyful relationship
with Him.
STAY WARM by drinking in the
JOY JUICE that God has made especially for you.
