- Joy is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22
- Joy is of God.
- Joy is founded on love.
- We have to be loved and loving to experience joy. We cannot experience joy if we don’t have love.
- We are a joyful community (we have joy not because we have no problems but because we have a great God and hopeful that God will journey with us and will fight for us!)
- We find joy in small and big things. (because for God there is no small and big thing, everything matters to Him. Everything that matters to me matters to God)
- Joy can be expressed in tears or in laughter.
- Joy can be simple or extravagant
- Joy is having everything or having nothing
- Joy is in us because God is in us.
- How can we be joyful? We go the source of joy – God.
- We look into our relationship with the Lord, we look at our prayer time so we will always be joyful
“Lord more than desiring to be joyful, may I desire You above all else.”
