Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit; it is part of the character of God that is built into us as we follow Jesus. That being said, we have a role to play in this great work; what habits can we participate in – to “set the table” for God to do his work in building his Joy inside us?
Matthew 25:21,23
“Come and share in your master’s happiness!”
Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
John 15:10-11
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!
Psalm 19:8
The precepts of the Lord are right. They give joy to the heart. And the commands of the Lord are radiant. They give light to the eyes.
Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
