Serve the JOY of the LORD, Faithfully



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Hope you plan to have plenty on hand for the weekend.

            We all look forward to the weekend, don’t we?  For many of us, it’s time to make plans with family, for fun or relaxation.  Many times our plans include “catching up on chores” or tackling a project that we’ve not had time to work on during the busy week.  All of us make plans….whether they are spontaneous or well-organized.  But are we so caught up in our own plans that we forget that God has a MASTER plan for our lives?
What is His Master Plan?  We each have a specific purpose, but God’s Master plan is based on the fundamental concepts of: 
  • Love
  • Faith
  • Grace

In Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus taught: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.”

          To love God supremely should be our hearts’ desire!  When loving God is our main goal,   we will be on a continual pursuit of HIS PLAN and HIS PURPOSE for our life.  And with that comes faith and the acceptance of His grace in our daily walk.

            Albert Schweitzer once said, “The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.”   To put that in the spiritual perspective: When we love God and live according to his plan, our heart and life will be overflowing with JOY in the Lord as we seek to serve others!!!

           Please drink your Joy Juice faithfully…and plan to share generously with all those he brings into your life!
