Great Modern Day Story of Joy
At church there is this married couple having a great hardship. The man has some health issues in fact the doctors thought he was going to die last year. Yet he has lived to see another year longer by the grace of God.
In spite of his having health problems he and his wife are still grateful to God for allowing them to be married for all this time, for sparing this kind, Christian man's life, and for allowing them to be used by God to lead others to him. In fact just last year one of their friends accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. Not only this but this godly man still shares Jesus with his doctor every time he goes in for a recent checkup/update about the health troubles he has.
Am thankful to God for the joy of Jesus that they have, and are willing to share with others in spite of the hard times they are going through due to one of them having health issues. This health problem one of them has is called ALS, and is really sad.
Thank God for his indescribable,incredible Joy in their lives, and in the lives of others around them as well!
Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice, in the Lord always and again I say rejoice."

God takes care of Even the small things
Another section of the medical debt is erased!
A big portion of it is still there.
God will provide the means to pay it off in his timing though.
God takes care of even the small things in life.
He cares about us enough to provide us with sunshine,wind,or rain.
He provides our every need.
He answers prayer too.
One of my aunts who I prayed for to be saved, for many years, just accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior recently!
Plus, a married couple struggling with thier marriage that I prayed for saw a counselor,worked things out,and are now working on mending thier once wreaked relationship with one another.
One of my neighbors lost his job early this summer,and he got a new one sometime in July or August of this year!
Our son,and only child birthday is coming up soon!

Joy: Has No Limits when it Comes from God
"Joy"
Jesus Others Yourself =Joy
Joy that comes from God,
Is Better than the worlds kind of joy,
The worlds joy is limited,
The joy that comes from God has not limits.
The worlds joy can be gone,
And may not come back again,
But God's joy can be renewed day,
After day,and moment by moment,
His joy is better,
His is greater,
His gives you purpose in life,
So ask God to give you his joy today,
For with his joy you can not go wrong,
With his joy you will come out spiritually strong.

Joy that comes from God is the Best
I went a wedding at church a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful wedding.
The bridesmaid dresses were a nice medium blue color,and there was fixed up in a bun.
The flower girl wore white,and had her hair in curls.
Her sister,had her hair in curls too,but was one of the bridesmaids.
The groomsmen,groom,and the pastor all had ties and vests on as part of their tuxedos that matched the bridesmaid dresses.
The church was decorated with white ribbons,blue flowers,a white rug,and white arch with white ribbon and blue flowers covering it.
The brides dress has this long white flowing train on the back of it. Her hair was down,but curled and had some cute hair pins at the top of it.
The bride and grooms,family and friends were overjoyed as they saw the couple join hands,say their vows,exchange their rings,light the unity candle,kiss,and be announced husband and wife.
It truly was a joy to see such a godly couple unit in marriage before God,and their family, and friends.
As wonderful as this experience was,and as great as any other wedding is to see, there is a future uniting of the bridegroom with his bride in heaven!
This is when the church is called home to the LORD in heaven,and oh, what a day of rejoicing it will be!
For Christians of all ages will see the one who died for them,was buried,and rose again!
Once and for all they will get to spend eternity with Jesus Christ himself!
This truly will be a great and wondrous day!
For the joy that comes from God alone is the best.

Praise the LORD!
One of my cousins that I prayed for for a very long time, finally got saved! His name is Cody,and he is twenty-two years old.
" The angels in heaven rejoice over one sinner that comes to repentance" as the Bible says.
The angels in heaven were so excited when my cousin got saved!
Cody himself was too,so much that he told his Grandma, who told my mother, who told me!
So now his name is in the Book of Life, forever and ever!
Rejoice with me, for my cousin is saved now!
Rejoice!

Joy that comes from God alone
The Joy God gives us is...
different than the world's joy.
The world rejoices when things are going well,but not in bad times.
God gives us joy that can cause us to rejoice during both the good times, and the bad.
My husband and I only recently got part of our medical debt lifted from us.
We are glad to have this paid off.
Still have a long way to go to get the rest paid off.
We are glad that God helped us pay this small portion of debt, that started off big, taken care of at last ( in his timing).
We have had to rely on him to get the debt lifted.
We keep on relying on him and he keeps on meeting our needs.
So, you think you got a reason not to be joyful?
Think again!
If you are truly God's child, than you have all the reason in the world to rejoice!
So do it! Rejoice! Be Joyful, no matter what!

Joy in the Midst of Hardship
On my missions trip to Jamaica,this past year(hard to believe it was only a few months ago already) I noticed that the children at the children's home had joy in the midst of hardship. Sure they had food to eat, a roof over the head,clothes to wear, and so on.
Many of them were abandoned by their parents,or thier parents died, or could not afford to take of them yet they were still joyful! How? They are taught that the LORD Jesus loves them at an early age in life, so they know that they are loved by God! This is an encouragement to them to know that God will never "...leave..." or "...forsake..." them. So they are able to be joyful in spite of their growing up in a home away from family.
This was such a blessing to see!
Also,the year before last (in 2009) my husband had this bad stuff called double pneumonia around Christmas time. It was in his blood stream,which is dangerous. It turned out that this was not the only bad news. To top this off, it was two different types of pneumonia, and the doctors thought he may have gotten H1N1 too. So, he stayed in the hospital for a week to be treated for all this mess while my parents took me to visit him each day, and took turns baby-sitting our son (who is now two years old).
Talk about a hardship. This was a tough time for us all. My husband fought for his life, the doctors did all they could to help, our son was fussy as can be, and at the end of each day I was worn out big time. So,how did I manage to keep from falling apart during all this?
Believe me,it was not easy. I was stressed big time,but I prayed a lot then for God's will to be done, and for him to give me the strength to do right by him in spite of it all. As a result,I surprised myself,I stopped crying myself to sleep as had done at first, and started praising God instead!
Not only this, but I met another lady in the hospital elevator one day. She was going through a similar situation to me. She asked me what to do to avoid losing it. So,I gave her a hug,cried with her a bit,then told her that I prayed for God's will and was relying on him through it all. She said thanks. She needed this reminder,and admitted to being a new Christian who did not know about this.

What makes you different?
Has any one ever walked up to you, and said "Something is different about you. I can tell. I just do not know what it is. What is it that makes you different,anyway?"
Cause if you have,then this means the person is wondering, what it is as a Christian that you have that they do not have.
The next time someone ask this tell them this "I have peace with God,eternal security in the LORD Jesus Christ,a promise of a future home in heaven,joy that only comes from knowing the LORD Jesus Christ as my personal LORD and Saviour,and knowing that I am part of God's family. I am a child of God. He calls me his daughter (or if you are a boy, his son),and I know that no matter what else happens in life that nothing can ever pluck me from his hand. "
So this my friend, is what makes a Christian different.
