(John 8:31-32)31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

(Romans 10:17) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

True JOY

Not a long post, but here's a cool acronym:
Jesus
Others
Yourself.

[JOY]


What a simple way to remember how to live our lives! We put Jesus first, then other people, then ourselves. When we strive to keep our priorities in this order, we are filled with true joy.
As 1 Corinthians 10:31-33 says:
 31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— 33 even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
Sooooo life's not about us-- that's why when we only think of ourselves we're miserable--> we don't have JOY!


Praying that you and I have true JOY,
KT
