If you cant enjoy your life you are burden to someone. The less you know how to enjoy your life, the more you are a burden to those around you. The more you like your life, and you must learn to like your life, the less of a burden you are on others.
God’s presence brings joy!
joy is God’s character! Its who he is.
1 Chronicles 16:27 says that “strength and joy fill his dwelling.” Psalm 16:11 reminds us that joy and “eternal pleasures” are found in God’s presence.
Want more joy? Spend more time with God in his presence.
There is nothing I would choose over spending time with God… he is my source for life, power, grace, joy!
Grow joy by spending time in Gods word.
Psalm 1:1-3 promises that if we “delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night,” then we will be filled with joy and we will be prosperous because we will bear fruit in every life season.
My favorite illustration - you move down south and you will start to speak with a southern drawl. You move to the east coast you will start to sound arrogant… ok, just kidding, you will pick up that nasal tone…
You spend time in the word of god and you will start to talk like Jesus… and thats a good thing. It will fill your mouth with joy.
Trust brings joy and peace.
Trust in god brings joy because you simply realize I don’t know how he is going to take care of this… but he is. I am excited to see how he does this.
EVER SEE A WORLD CLASS MAGICIAN/ESCAPE ARTIST? I find myself laughing as they handcuff him, tie him up, put duct tape around his mouth, put a bag over his head, lock him in a box, put it in a crate, drop it in the water…. and why do I laugh? Because I do not know how he will get out of this… but I do know he will and I will be awed.
Thats like God when we trust him…
Confidence and joy draw people!
“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13).
1 Peter 1:6-8
6 So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
Praise Glory and honor… not just from God but from others. People want to know why you are different.
I have had many people numerous times ask why I am so happy, or why I am so positive… or my favorite… Why is my aura so blueish green and glowing.
