Joy for Today



Joy is Good for the Heart




Joy doesn’t just affect you, but it pours out into the people around you. It can be good medicine for their heart as well.

Joy has the incredible power to carry you through your darkest seasons and minister to others as they see your response.

Find joy today, no matter where you are or what you are going through.

Joy is Good for the Heart

Joy is good for you and the people around you. I know sometimes it’s easier to bask in the difficulty of what you’re going through, but joy will be a much better response for you and for those around you.

Some of the godliest people I’ve met are those who’ve been joyful in the midst of their trial, when they can point to God and proclaim He is good when their heart is in pain. I look at these people and I’m challenged in my own faith. Their joy overflows and becomes contagious; I can’t help but see my own joy expand a bit.

Remember that joy doesn’t just affect you, but it pours out into the people around you. It can be good medicine for their heart as well.

I hope you’ll take the Scripture and tools you learned in this reading plan and implement them into your life. Joy has the incredible power to carry you through your darkest seasons and minister to others as they see your response.

Find joy today, no matter where you are or what you are going through. Find joy in the ordinary.
 



Be Blessed and be a Blessing!

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
