"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning it's shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
-Hebrews 12:2

My Strength.

Nehemiah 8:10 has taken on a new and deeper meaning for me lately.

The Joy of the Lord is my strength.

So much in few words.

When I have no joy..I have zilcho strength. It's so clear, so obvious. Jesus Christ died and spilled HIS blood for me and the WHOLE world. If you're reading this..dance, shout, sing, and PRAISE. Jesus loves you immeasurably...be joyful!

Sometimes its easier said then done. That cruddy guy named "the devil" comes and tries to steal our Joy. Guess what? God is bigger. and stronger.

When I don't have joy, I feel so weak. But..don't believe the devil's lie! Even in that saddest of times there is ALWAYS hope. always. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord you always always always have hope. NO matter what happens, so matter what DOESN'T happen..there is ALWAYS hope. If you have NOT accepted Jesus Christ and asked Him to take the reins of your life..what are you waiting for?! A life of Joy awaits you..

Pray for the Joy of our LORD. You will be strengthend.
