JOY!  so hard to define but the emotion is unspeakable and such a gift from Our Lord Jesus. People love to be around a joy-filled person. They look ahead, anticipating good. Most people do wish they could face life with more joy. If we want our glorious claims about our faith to be credible to those around us. Does your face show you live in those claims? God wants you to be joy-full. God’s announcement from His angels to the world the moment His Son was born is by far the most JOY-FILLED in all history.  God born as a man to bring His love and hope to the world. Rejoice! Immanuel, God with us.

Our Creator created mankind at the beginning of Creation with a hard-wired JOY-system: Endorphins. Built right in to us to experience pure joy.  He created us to have direct access to Him through His Son Jesus. Pure Joy! Complete Joy! This is what God longs for each of us. He longs to show you the way He has designed us to respond to God’s Joy

I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.  In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

John 14:24

“fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
