Joy

Do we enjoy life or endure life?  

Are we making the most of the life that God has given to us or are we hiding all the dross that we are wading through with a Christian mask of “Yes, I’m good thanks.” 

Joy is something that Christians are meant to have, yet it is something that we can find difficult to live in due to the demands on our time and also circumstances that come our way. 

God has placed a value/worth on our lives that he was even willing to send his son to die in our place. 

Christians can live a life of Joy but we have to acknowledge the circumstances that we face but also live with the reality that we are children of the living God.
