Day 14

You were created to be free, to be happy, & to live an abundant fulfilled life..
Are you enjoying the journey of your life?..
The truth is, God wants you to enjoy your life every day. Did you know that? If you didn’t, or maybe you just aren’t sure whether God approves of people enjoying their lives, take a look at John 10:10. It says, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)”..
If you don’t have joy, then no matter what you have or what you do or how great your circumstances may be…it doesn’t mean much..
Joy comes when we make Jesus the most important person in our life, knowing what He has already finished for us on the cross, living and remaining in Him, and making everything in life revolve around Him..
Joy is not about entertaining yourself all the time, getting your way all the time or laughing all the time. Joy can be extreme hilarity or calm delight and everything in between!..
Focusing on Jesus has so many benefits. For one, when we’re paying attention to Him, we won’t be focused on the problems in the world; and we’ll be able to live with God’s peace and joy. Another benefit of living this way is that it keeps us from being continually stressed-out, living in survival mode and just getting through the day..
So many people have the mindset that they will be really happy and enjoy life… when they go on vacation, when the children are older, when they get higher on the ladder of success at work, when they get married…..BUT God wants you to enjoy your life now, not when..
We have the Holy Spirit, who lives in us, who is the Helper who gives us supernatural strength and anointing to live this ordinary, day-to-day life with the supernatural joy of the Lord..
So rejoice in the Lord! As the joy of the Lord gives you strength, you’ll be able to face any problem you have to deal with, and you’ll enjoy your life while you’re doing it!..
“The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)…..”(John 10:10)
