GET YOUR JOY BACK
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 Peter 1:8 (NIV)
Have you experienced something that has taken your joy and enthusiasm for your future? Has there been a recent setback in your life that stole your joy and made you contemplate ending it all? Today is the day to get that joy back! God has you here on purpose and for a purpose. It’s time to get excited about your future and learn to enjoy each and every day.
If you don’t make the conscious effort to keep your joy, not only will the enemy rob you of the joy that belongs to you, but he will rob your family and friends of the gift that you have to give them. When you have joy, you can use that joy to influence the people around you for good. Joy is strength, and when you have joy, you can offer strength to the people God has placed in your life. Don’t allow the enemy to sap your strength by stealing your joy. No matter what comes your way, protect that inner joy you have because you are a child of God!
Today, draw the line and decide, “I’m not going to live another day negative, discouraged and bitter. I’m going to put on a smile and rejoice in the Lord.” Choose to keep your heart open and let your faith in God fill you with inexpressible and glorious joy!
Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank You for Your love. Thank You for choosing me and molding me into Your image. Today, I invite You to fill me with Your inexpressible, glorious joy so that I can be a blessing to the people You have placed in my life. I boast in You today in Jesus’ name, amen.
