This is one of those songs, do you remember...."I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy....down in my heart. Where?"
Yes you can thank me later for having that song in your head for the rest of the day. But what if....that joy went from our heads to our hearts?
Do you remember the other little song...."If you want joy you must ask for it......?"
Exactly what is joy?
It is the enjoyment of God and the good things that come from the His hands.
If our freedom in Christ is a piece of cake....joy is the frosting. (probably chocolate)
If the Bible gives us words of worship....joy supplies the music.
True joy can only be had as part of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22). It is that overwhelming sense of comfort and contentment that floods our soul.
Romans 15:13 NIV
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Joy? Ask!
I'm just sayin' ...
