Have you
had your OUTRAGEOUS and CONTAGIOUS JOY JUICE today? If so, you are bursting forth with His love
and joy!
When your
heart is full of joy, there’s no room for much else….except love and
gratitude! When you are overflowing with
the JOY of the LORD, you don’t have time (nor desire) to grumble and
complain. I’m pretty sure that’s where Paul
was coming from when he wrote in Philippians 2:14-15:
“Do
everything without complaining or arguing,
so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault
in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the
universe.”
How often
do we find ourselves grumbling? Fussing about insignificant things that really
don’t matter that much! And then, there
big, aggravating interruptions that really make us want to complain! Even then,
we should realize that we are saying that God isn’t handling our affairs very
well. We are showing a lack of trust in
Him.
Instead of
complaining about the weather or someone who has irritated us; rather than
questioning why a certain situation was allowed to happen ….let’s understand
that nothing catches God by surprise and more importantly…..He loves us! “It’s
impossible to keep an eye out for God’s blessings while harboring a complaining
spirit. When we grumble and complain, we’re blocking our expectation of good
things”…and we’ll probably miss seeing them when they do come!
In order to
be an outrageously JOYful Christian with a contagious spirit of love for the
Lord, remember, let’s “do everything without complaining…..so that (we)
will SHINE like stars in the universe!
Let's join together in prayer that we will find the joy in this new
day and RADIATE His love into the lives of others.
