Have a Joy-Filled Day!

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. Galatians 5:22.

Do you ever have those days when you look at your calendar and don't know how you're going to get it all done and nothing seems to go the way you want it to? Of course you do but we can rest assured that God has already put us on his calendar and is planning to spend the entire day right beside us. Just knowing that you're not going to face anything alone today should give you His joy unspeakable and full of glory. And nothing can take that joy away from you, not a grumpy boss or a disgruntled customer or co-worker. Not a fretful child or a house full of children that you just can't seem to please. No grouchy sales clerks or the customer in front of you with 50 items in the 10 items or less line at the grocery store. Nothing nothing nothing can steal our joy.

As long as we have our priorities correct:

J-Jesus

O-Others

Y-Yourself

No one or no thing can take it away from you. It's a gift from God.

Yesterday is history

Tomorrow is a mystery

Today is a gift from God

That's why it's called the present.

Have a joy-filled day.
