• Oct. 8, 2007 - Choose Joy

I have been exploring what real joy is over many years and I think I have come to a conclusion though I still would like to experience more of this joy in the years I have left on this earth.

I think real joy is the kind that you can have in the deepest sorrows and during the realization of the most grievous sin.

It is the joy that comes from trusting and believing God when He says He is our all in all.

This kind of joy is what the lost seek... when they find it they rejoice and turn form sin praising God.

I want to have this radiate from my life so others might have life too.

When we completely surrender our lives to Him I think then we can have true joy. It is so simple but yet so hard. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute..

Blessings to you and thank you for the reminder. I need reminding every now and then.

This is a good reminder. I, too, have been trying to show the joy the Lord has placed in my life. I feel if I radiate w/ it others will see His joy. :)
