"Be joyful always" - 1 Thessalonians 5:16
"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul." - Psalm 94:19

The Bible talks about joy, a lot. In fact, did you know that joy is one of the fruits of the Spirit? That means that if we have the Holy Spirit in us we are called to be joyful. That doesn't mean just being happy or giggly or smiling and pretending that things are great when the aren't. Being joyful means having hope in Christ, being content in every situation, and knowing that His Kingdom is so much greater than the world we live in. In our culture people try to find joy by acquiring things, getting a better job, being the best at a sport, or getting into the best school and once they have accomplished these things they still don't have happiness. True Joy can only come from Jesus.

Are you truly Joyful? Ask God to give you the fruit of the spirit, Joy. Pray and ask God to show yo where you may need to surrender some things and have true Joy in Jesus. Pray and ask God for opportunities to bring His Joy to those around you.
