Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Joy comes with the Holy Spirit. When I am suddenly filled with joy, (sometimes for no apparent reason), I know the Holy Spirit is awake and alive in me. I believe this joy is a gift from God, freely given by His grace. I can’t produce joy on my own, but the closer I grow to God, the more in communion with his Holy Spirit, the more joy I will experience.
Holy Lord, may I feel your presence today through this Monday, and recognize your Spirit at work in me. May I be satisfied always, knowing you are with me, and may I not miss those special moments of joy you send my way. Amen
