J.O.Y.

If you could have anything you wanted what would that be? Why? Because it would make you happy? So you would be joyful?

Joy. What an interesting word. We all sang songs about it when we were little. you know "Ive got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart! where?"or"Ive got Joy like a fountain in my soul!". But what does Joy mean? Joy is defined as "the emotion of great happiness". hmm... so why dont we sing " Ive got the great happiness down in my heart"? When i was little one of my sunday school teachers defined joy as JESUS first, Yourself last, and Others in between!! Puts a little different perspective on those two songs then "the emotion of great happiness"!
This week I challenge you to be J.O.Y.ful!!! Forget about yourself for thirty minutes everyday and live for GOD and HIS people!!! Its amazing how we get that emotion of great happiness when we serve others!!

Love yall
Pray you all have a week filled with great happiness!!!

Accepting Christ As Lord And Personal Savior

A - Admit that you have sinned the bible shows us clearly:

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Acts 3:19 a - Repent, then, and turn to God , so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.

B. Believe God sent his only son, Jesus to die on the cross for you . ( Luke 23 and 24 )

Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Acts 4:12 - Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

C- Commit Give your Live to Jesus. Ask Him to be your Savior and Lord.

Romans 10:13 - Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Will be saved.

Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

Prayer-

"Dear God, I admit that I have sinned and that my sin keeps me away from You. I am sorry for my sin. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me so my sin can be forgiven. I also believe Jesus rose from the dead and is alive.

God, please forgive me. I give my life to Jesus as my Savior and Lord. I will obey You and live for You the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
