THE SOURCE OF JOY



Augustine writes of God, "You yourself are their joy.  Happiness is to rejoice in you and for you and because of you."

JOY IN JESUS


An overcast day may try to cast shadows on my joy in Jesus.  Even when the weather and recent circumstances try to steal my joy, I understand that it can never be stolen.  I can give it away, I can forget it for a time, but nobody can steal it.  I am responsible to cling to Christ and to hold on with dear life to His joy.  Laughter may elude me, smiles may not come as often for a time, but the joy of the Lord is my strength and I will not relinquish it. - Rich Thornton
