Ever been sad before?
Like really taken out,
You cannot place your fingers on it.
That is the devil trying to steal your joy!
In moments of gloom
You find no trace of strength
That is the devil trying to take your peace!
The day when anger creeps in
You notice a loss of control
That is the devil trying to waste your love!
When you begin to live life
As though Christ never overcame
That is the devil making you lose your salvation!
Don’t allow him do that!
Tell him ‘no!’ literally:
You cannot have my mind
You cannot have my life
You cannot have anything the LORD has freely given unto me.
Take your emotional baggage
and get out of this temple!
Now, have you ever been joyful before?
You will right now
When you understand the truth
Joy is your sustenance
Through every situation
It does not reside outwardly
Hence we must never lose it (God willing)
“Joy is within you!”
End-notes:
Looking for scriputes to meditate upon?
- Philipians 4 verse 4
2. Nehemiah 8 verse 10
Do add more Scriputures to the list as led by the Holy Spirit.
Remain blessed! Amen
