God gives us a great joy. Joy that God given us is different with the joy and happiness this world offered. Jesus Prayed for us we can be overflow with his Joy. we read this in book of John chapter 17 verse 13. When the difficulties of life comes to us we are full of Jesus’ Joy. It does not matter how big is our problem – our God is bigger, His love and joy is bigger than our sadness and fainty heart. James said in his book that we need to have a pure joy when trails knock on the door.
Bishop Haik Hovsepian from Iran faced severe persecution for his Christian faith. Despite threats and hardships, Haik continued to serve the church with courage and joy. Even when his life was in danger, he said, “My joy is in Christ, not in safety.”Haik’s unwavering faith reminds us that true joy comes from God, not from our circumstances. As Psalm 94:19 says, “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” His life is a testament to the joy found in trusting God, no matter the trials.
We underestimate the beauty of Joy of the Lord. His joy is your portion. Good news is yours. His joy comes from his love, his love is so much for us. we need to remind ourselves the little joy of this world can not be compare to the eternal joy with Jesus. If you haven’t experienced His joy you can be filled with it , right now.
Pray this after me:
God I want your joy, I want to be filled with your joy in my heart. This heart of mine is yours! Overflow me with your love and joy. I thank you for that. Amen
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
John 15: 11
“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.”
John 17 : 13
