Looking for Joy...

Looking for joy, what does that mean? Maybe when our lives are perfect, we have no worries, concerns, or life could not be sweeter...unfortunately this is fleeting. When looking for joy, real joy we find the sweet love of our Lord Jesus.

Our inner joy brings contentment to our souls, even when there is strife. Or maybe I should say especially when there is strife; however, there will be times when all will run smoothly and we say, "awe what a perfect day", and yet, how do we acknowledge this perfect day? Do we thank the Lord?

Thanking our Lord is what gives us the JOY....feeling His love, knowing all we have is from Him and appreciating His mercy and grace is extraordinary.  I believe there can be nothing more satisfying than praising His name and  understanding God's capacity to love and care for us.

As we go forward with this day, let us find the joy...as we connect closer to our Lord, build our relationship, become ever more personal with Him, and experience the joy that accompanies it. Our Lord loves filling us with His joy, knowing it brings us home to Him.

John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

 Having God and our Lord Jesus in our lives is what we search for when looking for joy...We are blessed.
