The Joy of Life

Is there joy in your life? I hope so. God wants you to experience His joy. In His presence there is joy. The Spirit of God brings joy to you. It's a fruit of His presence with you. 

Do you know how to find God's joy? It comes through a personal relationship with Him. That relationship begins through faith in His Son Jesus. The joy is restored and renewed as you turn away from things in your life that don't please God. As you confess your sins and turn from them, the joy is renewed.

Continuing joy from God comes as you worship Him, obey Him, and serve Him. Joy gives you strength for living. Remember, your joy is found through a continuing relationship with God.

"In Your presence is fullness of joy."
Psalm 16:11

"Yet believing, you rejoice with joy
inexpressible and full of glory."
1 Peter 1:8

"Restore unto me the joy of Your salvation,
and uphold me by Your generous Spirit."
Psalm 51:12
