From Isaiah 40:8: “The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.”

Billy Graham Quote
When Jesus Christ is the source of our joy, no words can describe it.
From Philippians 4:4-7: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Rejoice always! If Jesus is present then joy is not absent.
From Psalm 16:11: “You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Charles Swindoll Quote
Joy is a choice. It is a matter of attitude that stems from one’s confidence in God.
From Psalm 16:11: “You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Joy in Christ
From Luke 2:10-11: “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.'”
Holy anticipation fills nightfall’s air
Preparing hearts, prophets’ promises fulfilled
Experiencing moments of boundless joy
Heavenly Father’s love, sharing grace to build
With life’s struggles, faith deepens in reflection
Celebrating the Messiah’s coming birth
Singing with host of angels, hearts fill with joy
Hope and peace, descending from heaven to earth
From above comes Immanuel, God with us
Lighting His way, never ceasing to cherish
Witnessing life’s true meaning, rejoice in joy
Love rekindles earth’s lamp, never to perish
Brightest stars illuminate earth’s darkest times
Fulfilling salvation’s journey, God’s love brings
Lighting Shepherd’s candle, delivering joy
Angelic hosannas, forever shall sing
From Philippians 4:4-5: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.”
Bill Bright Quote
The joy of God is experienced as I love, trust, and obey God–no matter the circumstances.
From John 15:11: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”
Oswald Chambers Quote
Joy is the great note all throughout the Bible.
From Romans 15:11: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”
From Her Window
Peering out from her window
Times changing much, much too fast
Being alone many years
Husband and friends having passed
Small home meets her meager needs
But, the neighborhood has changed
Folks come and go, few she knows
Life blurs by, as if arranged
Sheltered from the outside world
Homebound most days by herself
Family in distant states
Ignored like books on a shelf
Watching some television
Staying away from the news
Remembering old classics
Dreaming of Julie Andrews
Reading occupies her time
Local newspaper connects
Crossword puzzle smiling back
Novels thrill with their suspects
Peering out from her window
Another sunset draws near
Unfamiliar car drives up
Grandchildren bring happy tears
Vigorous Joy
From Christian campus ministry founder, Bill Bright: “The joy of God is experienced as I love, trust, and obey God–no matter the circumstances.”

From John 15:11: “I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.”
Feeling His Joy
From Hebrews 12:1-2: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings to closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.”

God’s footprints, visible for eternity
Filling our hearts with His joy, perfectly
Our Lord’s joy remains forever man’s strength
Overcoming the wicked, godless and fleeting
When distressed, our Lord brings answers
Sadness and worry turn to joy, never retreating
Through God, He restores the joy of Salvation
The Lord’s highway steers us on His Holy Way
Justice arrives, bringing joy to the righteous
For God’s Word, keeping all from going astray
Joy is a choice, feeling our Lord’s countenance
When tackling life’s endless, inevitable trials
Consider every one of them, nothing but joy
Walking with God, feeling joy with every mile
Faith produces endurance for God’s community
Endurance leads to maturity from God’s hand
Maturity through God, brings lasting, final joy
Trusting God’s Holy Word all across this land
God’s Kingdom delivers righteousness and peace
Through the Holy Spirit, souls experience joy
Clapping hands, singing praise to our Holy Lord
Redeemed man walks, filled with gladness and joy
Prophets foretell of the coming of a new King
Our Messiah’s birth brings magnificent joy
Joy later shattered on a bitter, bloody Cross
Only to defeat death, with Resurrection’s joy
Living as part of God’s redeemed, feeling His joy
Fruits of the Spirit sharing love, peace, and joy
