Don’t Settle for Happiness; Aim for Joy
" The greatest day in history
Death is beaten, You have rescued me
Sing it out, Jesus is alive
The empty cross, the empty grave
Life eternal, You have won the day
Shout it out, Jesus is alive
He's alive
Oh, happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh, happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed
When I stand in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face
I am yours, Jesus, You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate, Jesus is alive
He's alive
This whole week this song - Happy Day by Tim Hughes - has been on constant replay on spotify non stop. I just want to jump the moment it starts. Such a celebration song reminding that even through the darkest of storms we are able praise , there's just so much joy that overflows even when you declare this song out.
" I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. John 15:11 "
I have learn + love to praise and be joyful over every situation. God brings hope to darkness. It ain't that bad when you let the joy of the LORD fill you.
“Whatever happens, dear brothers and sisters, may the Lord give you joy.” Philippians 3:1 "
Keep living each day by grace , Grace means you don’t have to earn God’s love or his approval. God offers his love unconditionally, and you can joyfully live in that grace everyday, all day long. Be a fountain through which Jesus can pour His “living water.” Akways remember His JOY is your JOY (:
In so many ways we are undeserving of God's love and it is through the grace of God that we are saved.
