Maintaining a Joyful Heart

Your Life Matters to Christ

Joy - joy is an inward state of being that determines a person’s outward response to the situation. Joy is a choice! Joy comes from the Greek word, chara, which means "to be exceedingly glad". Joy moves us past our circumstances and into a posture of “it is well.” Joy is contentment in its purest form. As believers, we have a duty to encourage one another. When was the last time you encouraged your spouse, children, parents, friend, co-worker, supervisor, Pastor or neighbor. Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul.
