THERE IS A JOY THAT IS SO WONDERFUL!

THERE IS A JOY THAT IS SO WONDERFUL!

Allow no one to take your joy from you! Walk with God and immerse yourself in His joy. There are those that will seek to take away your joy. Control your mind and only allow others to enter by permission. We too often are broken because of the actions of others. Remember you and you alone control your mind, the thoughts of your mind and the deeds that spring forth from such thoughts. Another person can only hurt you if you allow t...hem to hurt you. Discipline your mind through Jesus Christ our Lord and feel His joy!

Many in the world and often many in the church are sick and broken. We should all love each other but never allow another person to so enter our mind that they break us and bring us down.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is wondrous but some preach it in such a way that is ugly and negative and legalistic. We must not only have the facts right but we must have the spirit of true Christianity. Grace is the very heart of the gospel and many never get this. Redemption is the core of the gospel and many forget this entirely. The gospel is above all about forgiveness and a new beginning. It is so appealing to sinners everywhere but often we fail to grasp this.

We walk with the King and we have every reason to rejoice, to shout His glory, and to glory in His love.
