These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. John 15:11, New King James Version
Have been thinking on joy lately- & my lack of it. Jesus says He gave us His joy and that it may REMAIN - not be lost, stolen, unfelt or surrendered.
Joy is given to us that we may have it as a God given reality in our everyday life. Joy is also outward fruit or evidence of the impact of God in our life. (Gal 5.22)
I want this joy.
I am going to be right in front of The King at His feet until I know it as a reality- If you need some joy too I will hopefully meet you there!!

WOW. Carolyn--I can't tell you how close this hit home with me. I feel like you were speaking right out of my own heart! I have been reading John 15 everyday lately to soak in these verses, for the very same reason.
