John 6:33 Take heart! For I have over come the world.
In another words, our Father says, 'It's all right.'
It's all right! All right! All is(will be) right! With this, i know that i can overcome the world. Phil4:4 Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS. and again i will say it again: REJOICE!
and YET another in Hab 3:17-18 Though the fig three do not bud and there are no grapes on the vine... YET, I will REJOICE in the Lord, I will be joyful in the Lord.'
Joylessness is a sign. Its a state of mind. Joy is about being thoughtful and not just about a feeling. To consider it pure joy, is to rationally think of it as pure joy.. Joy remains in sadness, unlike happiness. Happiness contributes to Joy. Sadness contributes to joy.
Joy murderers:
1. tiredness
Neh 8:10 The joy of the Lord is your strength
2. sin
Psalms 51:10-12 grant me a willing spirit to sustain me
3. purposeless
Psalms 16:8-11 I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at my right (stronger) hand, I will not be shaken.
4. not filled by the spirit
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy... with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit can continue to birth new joy in our heart as i read your word and keep in step with you. When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight. Joy is the most evident when it seemingly should not belong there. I know that I can continue to rejoice through my darkest moments, my most painful moments, my happiest moments.
