While we may have sorrow, the Word declares, the joy of the LORD is strength. Yes, the joy you give Lord, this world, that situation, these moments, can NOT take it away! Your joy is STRENGTH, it is beauty, it is life, resurrecting my life here and now! Thank you for this reminder!

Yes, so often in Jesus’s High Priestly Prayer, he prays for the disciples’ oneness and their JOY.
It says in Philippians or Thessalonians, “For the joy set before him he endured the cross, despising the shame.”
Jesus didn’t go to the cross for sin only. He also went because of the joy on the other side of it.
Truly I say to you, my spirit is refreshed and my mind amazed. XO
