Yeah, this may seem like cheating because I posted in the middle of the night... BUT TECHNICALLY, I posted YESTERDAY. So... :)
Anyway, today's Fruit of the Spirit is... Joy!
Joy is when your REALLY REALLY HAPPY AND EXCITED!
Joy is a WONDERFUL feeling! Think of it like this...:
Say a friend, or a family member has been really ill for a long time, but then you learn they will be OKAY, do you feel sad? NO! You feel COMPLETE Joy!
Or even think of it like this...
If you were there the day Jesus comes back, will you just be mad? NO! You will be JOYFUL! Wanna know why? Well, BECAUSE THE TRUE KING HAS COME! :) Would that just be so exciting?! To see Jesus face to face?! That would be awesome!
There is lots of verses about joy in the bible...:
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. Job 8:21 (NIV)
As the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor. Esther 9:22 (NIV)
May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests. Psalm 20:5 (NIV)
The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. Psalm 19:8 (NIV)
Well, those are the best verses I could find about Joy. :)
I can't really explain Joy in words, it's an amazing feeling, total and complete Joy. :)
