The Joy of the Lord

Have you ever noticed how great it feels to have the joy of the Lord in your heart? Some days the world around me just really starts to bring me down and overwhelm me. If I stop and reflect on Jesus and fix my eyes on Him, I can feel that joy fill my heart back up and give me the strength to face the rest of the day. Cool-i-o!

Daughter of God

I was trying to decide how to start my blog. I thought that maybe I should introduce myself to start with and how should I do that? How should I describe myself? Then is occurred to me, my most important feature, the thing that defines me above all other things, the thing that should determine how I act, what I do, what I say, and how I live every day is that "I AM A DAUGHTER OF GOD!" How awesome is that? There is a song and the lyrics are:

"I am a daughter of God, I am a child of the King, I am a holy fire burning with His love, I am a sister of Christ, by his grace I am redeemed!"

This is GREAT news! I should live each day with the Joy of the Lord in my heart! Psalm 107:2 says,

Has the LORD redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has saved you from your enemies.

I thank the LORD for my redemption and I pray for the opportunity to share the news with someone today!
