Gifts of Joy in Brokenness



      Have you had your Joy Juice today?  It’s packed with healing ingredients which can lead to more joy in your life.

Take a minute to go back in your memory bank and recall some of your times of trial….especially those times of brokenness. They were not happy times, were they? But if your allowed your faith in God to sustain you, now you can see good which came from that difficult time of brokenness. Wonderful gifts such as:

  • The awareness of God’s faithfulness
  • You are more sensitive and tuned in to His touch on your life in ways that you didn’t notice before.
  • Hopefully, you have a deeper relationship with Him.
  • You can empathize with others who are going through similar circumstances.
  • You possess a strength that you know is not from yourself but is God’s power manifesting itself in you.
  • Through those tough times, you became more dependent on God and less dependent on yourself. 

      When we allow God to teach us through the hard times, we can “count it all joy” because we know that ultimately this will be for our good.  Let’s keep 1 Peter 5:7 in the forefront of our heart and mind: “Cast(ing) all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”

       Claim all the joy God has for you by placing your trust in Him.
