Joy Stories

In my life with Christ, I have come to realize two grounded facts which have brought JOY. 

First, Christ is real, living in me, caring about the details of my life.  He is always beside me, taking me through every and all circumstances life brings my way. 

Second, Even though I don't like the feelings from sad/hurting and difficult times, my attitude toward these has changed.  Instead of the negative, I now can respond -- How will this circumstance bring a deeper closeness to Christ?

As I look at life with God's purpose in mind, I find true peace and YES --- JOY IN CHRIST!!!

For me, joy comes in many forms.  Joy is worshipping our Lord on Sunday mornings with my church family and feeling His overwhelming love.  Joy is living my life OUT LOUD in all areas of faith, family, church, and work! 

What greater thing can there be than celebrating the everyday moments and the extraordinary ones as part of God's family? It's pure joy.
