Joy Wins

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

John 16:22 "Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy."

Joy wins when our life aligns around Almighty God’s game plan. Sorrow may reign in the short-term, but long-term joy is victorious. Once joy lodges in the heart of a believer no one can steal it away.

Satan tries to talk us into forgetting God’s faithfulness. Indeed in Christ, we have an infinite supply of joy to share, but in our flesh we can quickly lose our joy. Trust the Lord and be joyful in Jesus...and share it with others.

If external conditions (people, places and things) are necessary to bring us joy, when they are removed our joy goes with them. However, if our joy comes from the internal rest of our soul in our Savior Jesus then our joy is secure, not at any real risk. A heart captured by Christ enjoys deep abiding joy!
