Good Like a Medicine

Verse: Colossians 1:11b
“Longsuffering with joyfulness.”

It's easy to be happy and thankful when everything is going perfect, isn't it?
Well what about when everything isn't going perfect? How about then?



So I've been studying a bit on joyfulness, and found...
We are called to be joyful through Christ! (Neh 8:10)

And when are we supposed to be joyful??
 ALWAYS! (Phil 4:4)

Even when it's hard,
and when everything is going wrong,
and we don't understand what God is doing,
and if we don't feel like being joyful,
....Remember exactly what we've been saved from: hell and eternal separation from Christ,
and exactly what we've been promised, heaven and eternity with Christ!

"Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS, and again I say REJOICE!" =D



Your joyful attitude affects everything you do.
“A merry heart does good like a medicine.” (Proverbs 17:22a)
That's a powerful statement!

Green smoothies are almost like a medicine. :)

And with that being said...
Are you going to let people and any other circumstances to affect the joy that we have in Christ?
Or are you going to let the joy of Christ affect the people and circumstances around you?

These little people were so joyful. :)

Let's go and show our friends and families what it means to be filled with the joy of Christ!
Love in Christ,
