LET JESUS BE YOUR JOY

August 10, 2023 2:44 pm , 2 Comments ,

Whatever you are facing today, there is joy to be discovered in Jesus. He is with you. His joy will be your strength as you stay focused on Him.

On this summer day, I can imagine Jesus whispering words of love to the ones looking for hope:

Don’t focus on your problems. Keep your eyes focused on ME. Cling to ME continually. Place your trust in Me, and I will help you. I will sustain you when you feel like giving up. Let MY joy be your strength.”

Ephesians 3:8 (AMP) says: “To me, [though I am] the very least of all the saints (God’s people), this grace [which is undeserved] was graciously given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the incomprehensible riches of Christ [that spiritual wealth which no one can fully understand].”

There are countless spiritual riches to be found in a relationship with Christ. Nothing this world has to offer can satisfy the human soul. No amount of money, no human relationship, no material possession, no accomplishment, no leadership position, no job, no amount of popularity, or anything else can compare to the joy of walking with Christ and knowing Him in a deep way.

My heart longs for every person in the world to experience the inexpressible joy of knowing Christ.

May you turn your eyes toward Jesus, choose joy, and live in the fullness of Christ’s inexhaustible riches. Let Jesus be your joy.

LORD,

Thank You for the glorious spiritual riches You have given us in Christ. Thank You for Your never-ending mercy, grace, and joy. Let us walk closely with You and know You in a deeper way each day. Let us keep our eyes focused on You and trust You to carry us through life. Help us choose joy and let gratitude flow from our hearts every moment of every day. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Enjoy Jesus! 🌻

Are you enduring hardships at this moment? I want to encourage you to look away from the cares of this world and keep your focus on Jesus.

While seeking to know God’s heart, I learned that true joy is birthed through a close relationship with Christ. My life is proof that it is possible to have immense joy while experiencing hard things. It was during the most excruciating season that I found the most intense joy.

Jesus is joy.

Whatever you are facing today, there is joy to be discovered in Jesus. He is with you. He will reveal His love to you in unimaginable ways if you seek Him with all your heart.

Press toward God like never before, and you will find immeasurable joy in Jesus.

On this beautiful day, I can imagine Jesus whispering words of love to the world:

“Don’t look to the left or to the right. Look straight ahead. Keep your eyes fixed on ME. I will sustain you. Know that I am for you. If I am for you then you don’t need to worry. Let the joy you find in ME carry you.”

May you turn your eyes toward Jesus and bask in His love. I hope you will choose joy and live fully every day.
