joyFULL

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. -John 15:11 (KJV)

Sometimes when we are so stressed with so many things life, we forget to smile or laugh. All we want to do is frown and cry. But as children of GOD, we ought to have joy... in full. Not just laughing or having fun for a little while, but all the time. That is the beauty that we get for loving God. For following the commandments of God is the fullness of joy. We need to constantly remember the love that Christ has shown to us on the cross that we may be continually filled with joy. It is only through the realization of His love that we are able to be joyful! Keep thinking about how much God loves you and that He cares for everything that's going on in your life right now. Thinking about Gods love should make you smile! Are you ready to keep smiling?

I forget this a lot of times especially when I have too many things that I think about. I will always put in my head the joy of having God's love. I cant imagine how stress-free I can be when I just think of that.

Thanks God for loving me. Because of your love, my joy is complete! You are my joy and I will love you until the end. Amen.
