FULL JOY IN CHRIST THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN FROM US

1 John 1:4 New King James Version
4 And these things we write to you that [a]your joy may be full.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR ONES!!!
As I was reading this morning scripture, God brought to my mind some things that I learned out of the recent Bible study I did through Darlene Schacht of the Time Warp Wife, and I thought I'd share them with you tonight. In particular, about how abiding in Christ brings us joy. Joy that's not dependent on the circumstances, having it all together, or when life goes our way, but also when life is uncertain, fear or doubt tries to creep in, and Satan just tries to throw a monkey wrench into everything. True joy I believe as Darlene states, “becomes possible not because circumstances improve, but because we remember He’s there. And when God is with us joy isn't fleeting it's steadfast and sure. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional especially this first one, a really thought provoking, especially to me, and I had to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray God speaks to your heart through them.”

How does chasing what you want ultimately leave you unhappy?

What’s the difference between happiness and joy?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word, not just from this morning scripture, but especially some things that God showed me through the Bible study I did, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, shows you that you can have a true, lasting, complete, and full joy in Christ Jesus, that no one can take from you. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn about the full complete and wonderful joy in Christ that can never be taken from you! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that you know this true joy. The full, complete, lasting, and awesome joy that is found only in Christ Jesus, and that you cling to it. That no matter what circumstance you go through in life, remember, life isn't perfect, but God is truly faithful, and we can have true joy in Him that no one can take away. That even in the midst of all of life's storms, remember that you will never be shaken or overcome. That God is with you every step of the way, and that in Christ we have real happiness and fruitfulness that can't be taken from us. Hardships and trials are going to happen, and as Tim Gustafson this morning's devotional writer stated so very well, “Happiness can slip away with the next unpleasant circumstance. The joy that comes from following Jesus can thrive despite those circumstances.” That is true joy, and that's something I choose to cling to. What about you?

UNTIL FRIDAY:

HAVE A TRANQUIL AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
