Have you had your Joy Juice
today? Jesus taught that we should “Love God with all our heart, soul, and
mind. “ And that we should “Love our
neighbor as ourselves.”
The world
teaches, however, that we all have our “rights”, and we should look out for
#1…OURSELVES. We say that we teach our
children to share, but are we as adults practicing what we preach? I’m afraid that we have become a very
self-centered society. Do you agree?
Just think
what this world could be like---if we all would put others before
ourselves! No one would have to demand
their rights, because we’d be more concerned about one another than
ourselves. We wouldn’t have to worry
about locking our doors or being fearful of what others may do, because crime
would be non-existent! When needs
arose, people would see them and meet those needs. Life would be joyous and
filled with compassion. Sounds a little
like heaven, doesn’t it?
We may not
be able to change the whole world…but we can influence our little corner! Try putting Jesus first and others a close
second. Not only will you be spreading
joy to others, but I have a feeling that your own joyful heart will be written
across your face in the form of a great big smile!
Let’s share the joy of the Lord by loving Him first and showing our
neighbors that we love them, too!
