Joy

Hello my dear friends,

I am very happy that there is a word to share with you. Today I will speak about the joy that comes through faith.

Several days ago (during the THanksgiving Break) I had a dream. The boy was so depressed, almost seek. I wondered in my dream what happened, why he was so sad. I remember coming to the hospital to cisit him. There were no emotions on his face but still sadness.

On Sunday School we talked about being CONTENT.

Content in who you are, what you have and who you are with. (Phil. 4:8, Hebr. 13:5, Ps. 62:10).

However, in order to be content you need to be restored first. (That's why I came to the hospital). Restored physically, emotionally and spiritually. But restoration comes from LOVE.

2. Fill yourself with the Word of God. Romans 10:17 "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God". When you are in faith, the joy will be your outcome. Nehemiah 8:10 "THe joy of the Lord is your strength". Psalm 40:16 "Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You" "Rejoice always" 1 Thessalonians 5:16.

3. Today Keeth Moore spoke on "joy of faith". Romans 15:13 "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing". He said that joy is gage to your faith. If you are in faith, you have joy.

So, I hope that you and I will respond in faith to God and fill our heart with joy.
