Joy

Another part of God’s divine nature we share is joy. Applying the Word of God in your life and living in His will gives you joy.

Don’t be surprised by trials. We get to share in Christ’s suffering so that we share in His glory. You are blessed if you still shine and stay strong under criticism or pressures.

When others treat you poorly, be a blessing to them instead. God’s purpose for you involves being a blessing to others. Our example of blessing is found in the character of God and how He blesses us.

Commitment to faith in Christ comes from your love of Him. Joy is the result of the surrender of your life to God.

We have joy because of the person of Christ. Jesus understands how we feel in the trials we go through.

You don’t have to let the duties of life interrupt your commitment to your Lord.

God’s presence is more real as we experience trials in our lives. The Holy Spirit gives us joy in the middle of hard times. Someone will want to pattern their life after yours when they see what God is doing in your life.

As we pray for deliverance, we must also believe that God will actually deliver us. Walk through the action of putting our trust in God–no matter how big of a jam we’re in.

Your motive in life gives way to who or what controls it. The divine change happens when we hand over control to God.

There is a beautiful experience waiting for you, beloved friend. If you haven’t already discovered it, as you read God’s Word and meditate upon it and allow the indwelling Holy Spirit to speak to you, your heart will rejoice in the truth of God.
