Jesus –Our Joy.
Dr. Ben carson once shared while growing up, His Mother did not have money, their lives were full of Problem, yet their Mum was ever joyful, singing hymes and sold out to worshipping God even when he never understood why.
We live in a time of uncertainty, where result are almost unpredictable. Salaries can no longer meets one's needs, incomes are not coming in as suppose, and even if it does. An Unforseen chaos that surface in the middle of the month that takes away. Death,Sickness, Dissappointment from people, Failure from systems, and More seat to steal our joy every now or then.
This can built anxiety, and depression in the life of a believer. Yet, Apostle Paul Calls us to Rememberance "Rejoice in the Lord Always, again I say Rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4) Rejoicing which is the re-enacting of Joy, the outburst of the inner basking. Knowing that Having Jesus is Everything.
“If we have everything but don't have Jesus we have nothing. If we have nothing but we have Jesus we have everything.”
It more than a Feeling, It's an understanding that possessing Jesus is what more than gold and silver or any material possess and this is the real Joy that the world cannot take away from you.
"I've told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I have conquered the world." (16:33 msg.)
Jesus let us know that this world cannot give true joy, but has comfort us even in our grieves, through the Holy Spirit. Jesus helps us live everyday with purpose and hope.
Prayers:
Jesus you are worth more than the treasures of this World to me. So irrespective of what I don't have, i am comforted, because you are my chief Joy.
