Real Joy?, by Phil Ware
Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send
some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our
Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah
8:10 TNIV).
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (Philippians
4:4)
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do
not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an
inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end
result of your faith, the salvation of your souls (1 Peter 1:8-9).
Smiles. Laughter. Enthusiasm for life. Warmth, openness, and generosity
with others. All of these were in ample supply as a group of us visited
a village down the dusty, bumpy road outside of Kampala, Uganda.
