Joy

Joy comes from my relationship with my maker...it bubbles up deep within me and causes my soul to smile...it really has little to do with my circumstances, although sometimes I find myself feeling much more joy when everything 's going well. A few weeks ago, my world fell apart when I learned my dearest friend had been diagnosed with cancer. Although I know God knows all about it and has things well under control, it hit me hard and caused me to re-evaluate priorities in my life. Today I treasure every moment spent with loved ones and realize the best thing I can do for anyone is to help them come closer to the Truth. This life is but a mist and yet eternity is ours if we truly believe God sent His Son Jesus to earth to testify to the Truth and die for our sins which separate us from our maker...we are God's children & He wants the best for us & has shown us He is willing to pay the ultimate price for us. God's Love for us was demonstrated on the cross as Jesus exchanged places with us and paid the penalty for our sins! Glory to His precious name!!! I pray every member of my family would experience this deep down joy that is ours as we walk with our Savior & Lord, Jesus Christ. God is so good...if we only understood His amazing Love for us all!
