Do you ever feel like you just don't fit in? That maybe ya got on the WRONG BUS! Why is it that everyone else seems to be so happy but you just can't seem to have the same JOY that others seem to be experiencing. Where does this joy come from? Are they really this happy or are they just hiding behind their masks. The Bible tells us, "The joy of the Lord is our Strength!" Joy comes from the Holy Spirit within us. You may be assured not every situation in life will make you happy; but you can be confident in knowing that your joy will remain. Happiness is based on outward circumstances. Joy is based on an inward change. Just as we sang as children, "I've got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, down in my heart.......to STAY!" If you want this Joy, just ask Jesus to come into your heart. Pray this simple prayer; Jesus, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I want to have this joy that I see in others. I believe that You died for me and rose from the dead, that You now reign in Glory. Come into my heart and fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may know this Joy - JOY Unspeakable and full of glory!
Amen, To grow in Joy you need to daily read the Bible and spend time in His Presence through prayer and just listening. He has much to share that will bring you great joy! It's not just about a "Happy Face" it's about a "Joy-full Heart"
