The Bullet of Joy: Look to the Source
"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full." John 15:11
The source of real joy is found in these words of the Lord Jesus. Real joy cannot be found outside one’s life but foundationally only within one’s own being. If there is no real joy from God “inside” your life, it is futile to seek for it on the “outside”; no matter the quantity of things you buy, friends you garner or how many sporting events you attend!
The gospel of Jesus tells us that His plan is to put joy into us if we will allow Him the right and receive it as His gift.
Nehemiah (read his book in Chapter 8, verse 10 and remember he lived in the 5th century BC) … know the secret! He knew that “the joy of the Lord is our strength.”
Only God’s joy within can overcome all the agonies and injustice life hurls against us! It’s a pity so few are humble enough to receive it! The conquerors of life have God’s joy in their hearts! It is the greatest power on earth! His joy!!
