J.O.Y.

"Have no fear. Joy--radiant Joy must be yours. Change disappointment to Joy."
~~~Two Listeners

This (the above statement) was on my computer screen this morning. This is soooooo in-line with what I have been hearing God say, even sing over me lately! We recently were in Ruidoso and went to our church there, Grace Harvest Church. What a beautiful body of believers! We heard the Associate Pastor, Rifle Salazar, preach/teach on joy. It was very
inspiring and brought great revelation. His definition of joy was an acronym for the word. J (esus) O (n) Y (ou).......I love it....Jesus on you!!! Even in the midst of life's darkest hour......our toughest trials.......may we choose to live it so others see JESUS ON YOU (us).
The days we are living in.....if you watch the news.....you can easily slip into fear and disappointment........but Jesus gives each of us such a measure of faith (and JOY) that hopefully others see JOY. It does NOT mean that we will not have trials.....we will! God's Word says we will. I just challenge each of us (especially me) that others see Jesus On You......JOY!

God's love & mine,
Lauren

P.S. ~ I also pray, in Jesus' name, that God break any fear, disappointment, discouragement, depression....even oppression OFF of you, RIGHT NOW.....RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE........and that you go forth (that means GO FORWARD.....ADVANCE!!! (with COURAGE and BOLDNESS).......in JOY!!!!
Woo Hoo! \o/
