Hey beautiful soul! Have you ever felt like something in your life ? Have you ever felt like you have a big hole in your heart and nothing can fill it ?
Honey, I’ve been there. For years, I chased happiness in all the wrong places. I’ve been after fleeting pleasures and external validation. But then, I found Jesus, and He showed me the true source of joy: Himself (John 15:11).
Today we are going to look at four steps I took to encounter joy in Jesus
1. Be In Communion with God
As I opened myself to God, I started feeling a shift within. It’s like my inner compass started aligning with something bigger, something good. This “higher self” is the part of us that craves connection with God, the part that knows true joy resides in Him (Romans 8:26).
2. Bypass he Noise and Focus on Jesus
Then came Jesus. His teachings became my guiding light, cutting through the world’s distractions and leading me to a place of peace (John 8:12). He showed me how to quiet the chatter in my head and connect with the divine love that resides within me. It’s like finding a hidden oasis in the middle of a desert.
3. Experience Jesus
But believing in Jesus is more than just memorizing facts. It’s a deep knowing, a place where my soul resonates with His truth. He tells me I am worthy, loved beyond measure, and that sets me free (Romans 8:1). His words are like a warm embrace, reminding me of my preciousness in God’s eyes.
4. Step Into Permanent Joy
And through it all, Jesus invites me closer. He beckons me to a life filled with purpose, overflowing with joy, and grounded in the knowledge that I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). He guides me with love, reminding me that joy isn’t just a feeling – it’s the very essence of who He is, and who I am becoming in Him.
Joy comes from god
In the dance of life, joy unfolds as the ultimate goal, intricately connected to meeting God and discovering purpose. Choosing the spiritual path, aligning consciousness, and embracing the essence of Jesus pave the way to this radiant destination. As we believe in Jesus and his transformative words, we step into a realm of divine joy, guided by the love that resides within and around us
