fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
so that you will abound in hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
Joy is supernatural! It is a gift from the Holy Spirit
to you! Only a Christian can know real joy. Joy is partnered with
hope. That is because joy comes from our hope of eternity. Joy is
an eternal perspective. To know joy, sometimes you have to look beyond
the circumstances and embrace the promise of forever. When we abound with
hope, then we find joy. To get that eternal perspective, we must know the
promises of God’s word, stand on those promises, and look to those
promises. Yes, Jesus is here with us in and through every situation and
we can be in His very presence even now. In His presence is joy and a
taste of what it will be like to be with Him in the spiritual flesh
forever. Can you imagine dancing in the fields with Jesus, dining with
Jesus, singing with Jesus? When we practice acknowledging His presence
now in each situation, we can see glimpses of what it will be like in heaven.
I pray that your day is full of hope and joy,
