“Joy is increased by spreading it to others.” — Robert Murray McCheyne
We should be sharing our joy with others! As Christians, we live by the Spirit, so let’s bless others with our words and actions from what we have received. Galatians 5:22 & 25 NLT states, “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, etc… Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”
“If you want to do one good thing in the world, the best thing you can do is give other people joy.” — Goswami Kriyananda
“There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go.” ― Frederick W. Faber
“We could all do with a bit more joy in our lives couldn’t we? The wonderful thing is that when we start spreading joy, we begin to actually experience more joy in our lives too!” ― Steve Goodier
“When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness… all the good things.” — Maya Angelou
Let us be diligent in following Kathryn Shirey’s advice, “Pray for your ability to share your joy with others and be a light in this world.”
Please join me next time as we continue to “focus on joy.”
[Joy is => inner gladness, delight, calm delight, or even rejoicing.]
