Jeremiah 15:16 KJV
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
Joy is one of the essential elements of the Christian walk. Our joy grows by constant fellowship and meditating on the Word of God.
Our joy is continually fulfilled because we know that when this life is over we have a home that awaits us that is not made by the hands of man.. Our eternal home..
This joy is abiding joy. It is joy in good times, bad times, night time, anytime and any situation.
We rejoice always in the Lord because we know that this joy is steadfast in sorrows. It is lasting in losses and abundant in afflictions.
We experience the true joy of the Lord in the midst of adversity. This joy keeps your heart from fainting. This joy speaks all is well because it goes beyond what I can see.
The joy of the Lord is seen readily in those who depend upon the Father. This joy is not half hearted but is always abounding.
Are you manifesting this joy?
Blessings
