Our source of JOY.
Just as we take our empty self to God to be filled with His love, we also go to Him- the source of true joy- when we feel empty of Christian joy. Here are some reasons you can have that joy from Him.
Reason #1: God Himself is a primary source of your joy- The psalmist reveals his heart's desire to "go to the altar of God, to God my joy and my delight" (Psalm 43:4). Do you think of God as your "exceeding joy"? Do you turn to Him who lives in your heart for joy? God- the only source of true joy- wants to give you His joy. You need only to turn to Him to receive it. What can you do to turn to Him?
Reason #2: God's salvation- When people share how they became Christians they can't help but tell their story joyfully. Isaiah, for instance, could not contain his joy when he thought about all that God had done for him. He wrote, "I delight greatly in the Lord, my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and has arrayed me in a robe of righteousness" (Isaiah 61:10). God paid a great price to obtain your salvation through His son's death. There can be no greater joy than knowing this!
Your heart can be filled with genuine joy- spiritual joy- when you walk with God though your trials, praising Him with every step and breath. That's an attitude of joy!
