JOY
BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL; AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS NO LAW. GALATIONS 5:22
Good morning....Looking at my daily planner as I approached my desk, I realized managing today's appointments would be a challenge along with the usual phone calls to return and the fires to put out that go along with a normal work day. Mondays always seem overwhelming to me.
I'm glad the Lord planned in advance to walk along beside me. After all, He did create Monday. Galatians 5:22 reminds me that His "joy" is abundantly available. No law, no policy at work, no irritated boss, no grumpy client and no amount of interruptions can take His joy away from me. As long as I set my priorities in the right order no one can deplete my "joy".
J = Jesus
O = Others
Y = Yourself
Time to clock in....the phone is ringing. I'll be here in the morning. Let me hear from you. And be sure to have a "joy-filled" day. Oh, by the way my name is Joy.
