The Lord is WITH us! Confident in this assurance gives us cause for GREAT Joy! Our Joy is in the fact that we are able to live our life IN Him and WITH Him now and forever! We no longer have to live in the darkness of hopelessness, but can now live in the promise of the fullness of our lives! "The Joy of the Lord is our Strength"! This Joy is both external and internal! It is external because we approach life differently... our attitude is focused on the positive rather than the negative! It is internal because it is His Life in us that enables us to live each day as a new day in the Lord! We are Blessed by the Lord each and every moment, for with every breath we are able to Praise Him, Serve Him, Cherish Him and Love Him! Be Joy-filled and Rejoice-He is Our God! Love and prayers! ✝️
