The Reason For My Smile

Posted on by
🕊The truth is, I’m not always happy. And no I don’t have it all together either! Somedays you will find me feeling a bit sad, crying even, but deep down in my gut I still have the feeling of divine joy.
🕊Joy Defined~Joy isn’t like happiness which is based upon happenings or whether things are going well or not. No, joy remains even amidst the suffering. Joy is not happiness. Joy is an emotion that’s acquired by the anticipation, acquisition or even the expectation of something great or wonderful. It could be described as exhilaration, delight, sheer gladness, and can result from a great success or a very beautiful or wonderful experience like an answered prayer, or a new opportunity but the definition of joy that the world holds is not nearly as amazing as biblical joy but joy is also gift.
🕊A Fruit🍒🍌🍅🍍🍇🍓🍊🥝 of the Spirit~
Paul mentions some of the fruits of the Spirit like “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness” and many others so joy is one of the fruits or the results of having the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. YOU CAN’T FAKE JOY…you either have it or you don’t. Paul writes to the church at Thessalonica that “for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit” (1 Thess 1:6) indicating that joy is associated with God the Holy Spirit and that the “righteousness and peace and joy [is] in the Holy Spirit” (Rom 14:17) and finds it source in God as even “the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 13:52 -2:38).
 
So you have to understand why I’m so joyful!
It’s not my joy but it’s the JOY of the LORD.
This Joy I give, not as the world gives.
J-Jesus
O-Only
Y-You
when I was a little girl I didn’t have anything much. We had more rats and roaches than anything else mama could afford. I’m not lucky I am blessed beyond measures! I possess the joy of the Lord. The Lord plans are for me, his plans are for you! He has strategically orchestrated the path of life and He wants to do the same for you.
 
~Psalm 28:7~
“The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.”
 
I can’t hide is love for me from you…and the really sweet reality is…He’s in love with all of you out there too and offer full joy to you!
