Day 80: The Second Fruit of the Spirit is JOY
JOY! The second fruit of the spirit is joy. We can draw so much strength from having joy in times of sorrow and in times of celebration.
Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Psalm 35:27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
To have joy is to be joyful. It is a gift from within that we already possess. Such joy can also affect others in a positive way. That is when we want to say things like, ” you are such a joy to work with” To have joy is to rejoice not hold it in. Let it that gift out from inside you in power and demonstration. Shout! Laugh! Run! Dance! Sing! Embrace someone and let that joy flow out of you in a ((big squeeze)).
