Have you had
your OUTRAGEOUS and CONTAGIOUS JOY JUICE today?
If so, you should be bursting forth with His love and joy!
When your
heart is full of joy, there’s still room for God’s love and gratitude! But there’s no room for garbage! Let me
explain: When we are overflowing with the JOY of the LORD, we don’t have time
(nor desire) to grumble and complain.
Don’t’ you think that’s where Paul was coming from when he wrote in Philippians
2:14-15:
“Do
everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and
pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in
which you shine like stars in the universe.”
How often
do we find ourselves grumbling about the weather? When we do, we should be aware that we are
criticizing God’s ordering of creation.
What about when we complain about problems on the job or any unexpected
situation? Are we saying that God isn’t
handling our affairs very well?
Instead of
complaining about the weather; rather than questioning why a certain situation
was allowed to happen ….let’s understand that nothing catches God by surprise
and He has a plan that includes His love for us! Someone once said, “It’s impossible to keep an eye
out for God’s blessings while harboring a complaining spirit. When we grumble
and complain, we’re blocking our expectation of good things”…and we’ll
probably miss seeing them when they do come!
In order to
be an outrageously JOYful Christian with a contagious spirit of love for the
Lord, remember to do everything without complaining…..so that you will SHINE like stars
in the universe!
Praying that we will find the joy in this new
day and RADIATE His love into the lives of everyone we meet!
