Joy (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Joy                                                                                           Day 32

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:37

The legend of Robin Hood (also known as the Prince of Thieves) tells of how he stole from the rich to give to the poor. Today, we will not face the Merry Men of Sherwood Forest. We do, however, have encounters that threaten to steal and take away our joy.

Many people experience the loss of joy for reasons such as broken relationships, sickness, accidents, or a job loss. Indeed, sometimes the things that provide us with the most joy and fulfillment can quickly be gone. Therefore, while we enjoy our lives, let us also place our hopes on those things that are eternal.

When we lose our way and do not feel like moving on, let us turn to the One who will show us how to move forward. In sickness, let us turn to the One who gives courage and healing. When lonely, let us cling to the One who loves us eternally. Let us seek and find joy in our eternal Savior.

God does not have to take from anyone who is rich in joy to bless those who are poor is spirit. In fact, we have access to an abundance of joy in Him. With Him, we can overcome any obstacle. Because He is for us, nothing can stand against us. Through Him, we are not just conquerors. We are more!
