Blessed: Joy

Day Thirteen:


Romans 15:13

Palm fronds symbolize joy. This may be to remind us of Palm Sunday, and the joyous day that is. Our joy remains strong (like fronds) because it's connected to Jesus and his love for us. We are released from the shame and fears sin brings into every life. We have received unconditional forgiveness and peace with God forever. You can't easily hide joy.
Allow for God to plant deep roots of joy to grow and be able to destroy troubles and challenges we will face. Our joy is heaven-focused.

Wow, I loved this one. Joy. So amazing. Honestly, look at a Christian and tell me you don't see joy in their life. The best part of meeting others is to see the joy just emanating off of their bodies. You can still be sad and unhappy, but you will never lose that joy. You will just be joyously upset. We won't lose the joy, because its not of this world.
