Do You Believe...In the Joy of Jesus?

            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Do you believe that God has a special serving of JOY…just for you?

We use the words “I believe!” often….. when we’re talking about a variety of things!  We may say:

·         I believe in Santa.

·         I believe in a thing called love.

·         I believe in miracles.

·         I believe in God.

            In the secular arena, as well as the spiritual, we toss around that word “believe” a lot.  Some of us are old enough to remember the gospel song sung by Elvis Presley entitled, “I Believe”. Listen to these words and see if you can identify with some of the reasons to “believe”.

           

I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows.
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows.
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way.
I believe, I believe.

Here’s my favorite verse:

I believe above a storm the smallest prayer can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe.

            We know for certain that the Someone who hears our smallest prayer and is everywhere….is GOD.  Do you believe?  In Mark 9:23 Jesus tells us, “Everything is possible for one who believes.” 

            May we believe in the JOY of Jesus!
