Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Let’s begin this new month with a renewed
commitment to share the JOY of the Lord as often as possible.
Many times
we find ourselves “stuck” in the past, not able to move forward because we
cannot forgive ourselves for poor decisions, bad choices or something that we
think is unforgivable. With that sense of “hopelessness”, we can lose our JOY!
PLEASE,
PLEASE, PLEASE know that we CAN move beyond our past mistakes! Jesus offers
complete forgiveness…if we come to Him with a sincere, repentant heart! If you are battling with this decision,
beating yourself up over a bad choice you made yesterday or years ago, turn to
the book of Luke, chapter 7 and read how Jesus dealt with the sinful woman in
verses 36 – 50.
She came to
him…truly sorry for her past sins. She
brought Him the best she had…an alabaster jar of perfume and anointed her
Savior’s feet. She wet His feet first with
her tears and wiped them with her hair.
In other words, she was truly broken before the Lord and He saw her pure
heart. He said to her, “Your
sins are forgiven.” “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
God loves
you! No matter what you’ve done in the
past. What He’s concerned about now is
your future. He wants you to spend a JOYful
eternity with Him.
Today is the PERFECT day
to start fresh! Accept His forgiveness and let Jesus fill your heart with a
special kind of JOY.
