Joy is a Healer



           Have you had your Joy Juice today?  When we are intentional about sharing the joy of the Lord, the Joy Juice is delicious!!!!!

             In case you haven’t noticed, I like to talk about joy.  I believe that the more we focus on something, the more intentional we become about making it a goal.  Who couldn’t use more JOY in their life?  Especially…..Joy from the Lord!

            Joy is a healer! Proverbs 17:22 reminds us that “A happy heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit drains your strength.”   Many times a happy heart leads to laughter! Doctors tell us that laughter has many benefits:

  • It reduces stress and tension.
  • It strengthens our immune system.
  • It’s great exercise for our lungs and increases circulation.
  • It even reduces pain
  God created us with a need for joy and laughter.  We should surround ourselves with good Christian friends who love to laugh and share joy with others.   Let’s try to see the humor in our circumstances, no matter how gloomy things may appear at the time. If all else fails, let's find some children to keep us company.  Any time we volunteer at school or church in the children’s department or hang with our kids or grandkids, we can be guaranteed plenty of laughter.

            God delights when His children are JOYful.  And JOY is contagious!!!

            Find joy where-ever you go….it’s not hiding.  It’s right there waiting for you to open your heart to a relationship with Jesus. That’s where you’ll find true JOY of the Lord!
