“So I was listening to this pastor..and my oh my..did he hit the nail on the head so to speak..Amen..and his message was this..my joy is my job..Amen..and I said Lord isn’t that the truth..Amen..we all want joy..Praise the Lord..but we always place that on the shoulders of someone else..Amen..it is someone else’s job to keep us happy and joyful..so that’s what we think..Amen..and that my friend is a heavy, heavy weight for us to give to anyone else..Amen..because it is not someone else’s job to keep us satisfied in our lives..it is our job..only we ourselves can keep our tanks filled up..Amen..only we can be joyful in who we are..Amen..for you see when we know who we are in Christ..we don’t need someone to give us a little kind word or to give us a so called piece of cake..or icing..in our lives..to make us happy..because that happiness is only for but a moment..Amen..but when we work on us with the help of the Lord..then we don’t need justification from any one else to be able to be full in joy and peace..and happiness..because when we our right with the Lord in our lives and we are working on who we are..and we know that God our Father is pleased with who we are..then we are satisfied..we are content..we are happy..we are joyful..we are at peace..Praise the Lord!”

“So today this is the idea..and that is this..wherever you are go with the Lord..carry the Lord Jesus with you..Amen..because this is the thing..joy and true lasting joy..is like this..and that is what the word of God says..and it says they that sow in tears shall reap in joy..Psalm 126:5-6..Amen..so here we go..it is not a quick fix this joy unspeakable and full of glory..it is a process..Amen..so in other words wherever you are at..you take that seed of joy with you..in the desert places..Amen..wherever that may be in your life..you are following God..Amen..so when you go..even if in tears..in hard times..whatever the process..you do it and you overcome and you get filled..Amen..you stay full with long lasting JOY..that only comes from Christ..not man..not your job..not friends..not family..not your bank account..not your savings account..not nothing else but the Lord..Amen..for the JOY of the Lord is your strength..Nehemiah 8:10..Amen..so have the best day..go sow them tears..and just know that you are and you will reap in much JOY..for you see the world did not give it to you..Praise His name..and this ole world cannot take it away..Hallelujah!..so know who you are and know who you are in Christ..and know that Jesus and His JOY is yours and that your JOY is your job..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
