Share the Joy!
Share the Joy!
I reckon every bloke who reaches a point of knowing and experiencing the Big Fella’s real-deal dinky-di love also knows about the amazing feeling of inner JOY. It’s a place of peace and satisfaction amid all circumstances, where God’s love reigns over all. It’s where the power of love wipes away the love of power.
How about you?
What have been some of your main moments of joy so far?
Fellas, welcome to this place of JOY. IT’S MORE THAN BEING HAPPY.
Joy is not just a girl’s name! Joy is about knowing the real guts of who we are. Joy is available to every one of us. Joy replaces bad things and sad times, and the regrets and pain of deep hurts.
Champions, avoid isolation. If you try to do life without people, you make it very difficult for joy to flow in. Healthy connection with others helps kick loneliness and depression.
Let the joy flow in so you can let the joy flow out to all those around you.
When I was a boy, joy for me was having an ice cream, a now-and-then special treat. I had no idea that joy could be something you could have all the time!
The world needs heaps and heaps of joy. Why have we made joy so rare?
‘Pursue righteousness,’ said Jesus, ‘and be satisfied.’ (Matthew 5:6)
In other words, pursue his way of living and be a satisfied bloke. Fellas, it’s not about ‘religion’! You don’t find satisfaction deep within your heart and soul from chasing rituals, traditions, or stuff that’s human-created.
It’s possible to know the words but not be able to sing the songs. We can sit in church, go through the stuff, and not meet Jesus. Don’t fall for diversion, just go straight to the top and hang out with the Creator of the universe. How good! He’ll keep you in tune!
I am satisfied. I know who I am and Whose I am. My heart and soul are free and clean. I’m in a great place.
Hope you are too.
I choose to do a thing we could call ‘right living’ to the best of my ability. That doesn’t mean I’m ‘always right’! It’s doing life the Big Fella’s way from the promises in his Work Manual, and seeing his Son, Jesus, as my true-to-life present-day lifestyle coach.
You will know by now that I choose to accept the spiritual part of who I am, so I have my heart and soul open to a constant flow of God’s joy coming into my being. The best way to get more joy is to keep it flowing out to others.
Whether you accept the spiritual part of you is your call.
Don’t be pushed or rushed either way.
