JOY is... Things causing joy...

JOY is... The secret of life is...

JOY is... “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one that this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends...” John 15: things causing joy

JOY is... Crispy Cream Donuts..

JOY is... “ Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.” (Deuteronomy 6:4)

JOY is Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself. 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:37-40)

JOY is strength. 9 Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, ‘This day is sacred to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.’ For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the law. 10 Nehemiah said, ‘Go, and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.’” Nehemiah 8:9-10

JOY is... God is the happiest being in the universe. Joy is God’s basic character. Joy is his eternal destiny. We will not understand God until we understand this about him.
