Whenever I hear the word joy, I always (and I mean, always) think of the children’s Sunday School song, “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart...,” and I secretly sing the song in my head. I can’t help but feel happy with my secret song and I challenge anyone to listen to the song and not experience at least a little tiny bit of joy.
I love joy and I’m a carrier of joy because I believe it is a high commodity in heaven. Jesus died for joy – Hebrews 12:2, For the joy set before him he endured the cross...”
Last week, hope was our advent theme. When we have hope, it’s easy to move into joy. Jesus left us his joy so our joy would be complete. Isn’t that amazing? Without Jesus, our joy and happiness is incomplete. Jesus wants us to have full and complete joy. That makes me happy.
This week, think about the things that bring you joy and thank the Lord for them.
I dare you not to feel joy when you listen to this.
