Guard your joy like life itself. No joy and life becomes bleak. As the world seems to get darker by the day—shootings, war, more bad things—it’s easy to lose your joy. And sometimes just dealing with people can suck away your joy. Add to that the devil always looking to kill your joy and things can get bleak fast.
Jesus said that He came to give us life in abundance (John 10:10), which is joy. A joyful life is an abundant life.
There is no magic here. Guard your joy and don’t let anyone take it away. If you ever feel your joy slipping (or has already slipped) turn to Jesus. Talk to Him about getting back your joy. I know this may sound a bit crazy but it works. Trust me. Been there, done that.
Joy. Guard it like a rare gem. Don’t let anyone take it. Remember that Jesus came to take away all of our sins and to leave us with joy.
Have a joyful rest of the week!
