Today at church we talked about JOY. We were reading from Philippians. I have never really spent much time on Philippians but today I learned I really enjoy it. Joy is something we should have everyday. Joy is not the same thing as happiness and no one can take joy away from us as long as we have God.
The 3 things that were said to be "joy killers" were 1. Worry 2. Stress and 3. Fear. I needed to hear this today because for the past few weeks all three of these things have been a part of my life. Worrying and stressing about school, life, future plans and all that fun stuff. Fear hasn't been as evident and as often but it does come into my life sometimes. I don't know whats going to happen tonight, tomorrow or even 10 years down the road but I can't control it. If I try I am losing some of my joy.
So, do you have JOY? Do you show it everyday? Just think about it. It was nice for me to sit and listen to the things that were said.
