DO YOU BATTLE WITH JEALOUSY, ENVY? IF YOU ARE REALLY HONEST AT SOME TIME THE ENEMY SNEAKS IN. WELL, JOY IS THE CURE FOR JEALOUSY. READ LUKE 1:42-43

DO YOU BATTLE WITH UNFORGIVENESS? WELL, IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO LET GO AND LET GOD HAVE HIS WAY. READ ROMANS 4:6-8  TO EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF FORGIVENESS

WHAT IS TRUE JOY?  MATTHEW 5:3-12, JOHN 15;11, JOHN 16;20, DO YOU REALLY HAVE TRUE JOY?

FOR A LONG TIME I DIDN'T AND STRUGGLED EACH AND EVERYDAY TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE ME HAPPY OR GIVE ME THAT JOY THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR .  I SUFFERED FROM HEAVY BOUTS OF DEPRESSION WHERE THERE WERE DAYS I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO WAKE UP....... I LITERALLY WAS TRYING TO SLEEP MY PROBLEMS AWAY  AND THAT OF COURSE WASN'T THE ANSWER.  I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO ANYONE, SEE ANYONE, GO OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE FOR DAYS EVEN WEEKS IF I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING PRESSING TO DO.  I EVEN DISTANCED MYSELF FROM MY HUSBAND AND MY CHILDREN.  I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS FOR BUT YOU CAN FIND JOY DESPITE THE SUFFERINGS  OF THIS EARTH.  DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY BE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW WHETHER IT BE A RELATIONSHIP, FINANCIAL, JOB RELATED, YOUR CHILDREN.  YOU CAN MAKE IT WITH THE LORDS HELP AND JOY WILL BE YOURS AGAIN . 
LUKE 21:28, PHIL 4;4,

LET GOD BEGAN A WORK IN YOU REGARDING RESTORING YOUR JOY.

JUST REMEMBER THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH 

 LORD, I THANK YOU FOR THE JOY THAT I NOW HAVE IN MY LIFE AFTER ALL THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH I STILL HAVE JOY  AND MORE ABUNDANTLY.......AND YOU CAN TOO!
