Start the Day (and End the Day) with Joy



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  As you begin your day, have faith that this day can be a joyful one!

            It really makes a difference when we start our day with a positive attitude of faith in God.  Trusting Him to guide us in the right direction…relying on Him to help us with difficult decisions.  This is faith….not in ourselves…but in an all-powerful, all-knowing God who loves us and wants what is best.

            Many people are going through trying times.  If you aren’t now, hold on…it’s coming!  But no matter what trials come our way, we can always have faith in a God that will never leave us.  That’s a promise!  Hebrews 13:5 reads: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

            In her book Faith Is,  Pamela Reeve writes: “Faith is engaging in the deepest JOY of heaven, knowing His unfathomable love for me as I walk through the thorny desolate now.”  Do you feel that your path is “thorny”?  “Desolate?”  Hurtful?  God understands. We don’t even have to know how to express our thoughts to God….He can read our hearts.  And He is willing to pick us up and carry us along that thorny path, through the difficult patches, until we make it through to the other side. 

            Have faith in your Heavenly Father!  That’s a sure way to experience genuine joy regardless of those thorny, hurtful circumstances.

Faith is the joy of knowing Christ as our personal Savior and Lord of our lives!
