Have
you had your Joy Juice today? When we
enjoy the joy of the Lord, it brings joy to God our Father…because He loves for
His joy to be our joy!
Now…that’s
a lot of joy! But there is such truth in that statement. Have you ever
considered how thrilled God is over our heart-felt devotion; and when His joy
becomes ours, He truly is pleased!
We
receive “joy-gifts” all along our way throughout each day. If our love for the
Lord is sincere, we should be willing to give gifts back to Him. Gifts of worship, honor, obedience…not
because He demands them, but because we love Him and want to show our gratitude
for Who He is! Sincere love should overflow …just as the
verse in Proverbs 4:23 says: “Above
all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Do love
and joy flow from your heart? Author Liz Curtis Higgs writes: “Flow is a wonderful thing. Every minute of every hour our beating hearts
send blood through our bodies, keeping us alive. We don’t have to think about
it. We don’t have to plot, plan or
practice. It just flows.
Each time we love and trust
instead of fret and fuss, God changes our stop-and-go into flow. What might you start doing—or stop doing—to
keep your heart pure so God’s love can pour through you?”
May
your heart overflow with God’s love and joy!
