A Jolt of JoySample

Did you know that you already have been given everything that you could possibly need to live a life of contagious joy? God the Father, through Jesus the Son, has already provided everything that is necessary to live a life of godliness! And, because joy is a quality of God's own character, that includes a life of full-blown, dynamic joy! When you have Jesus Christ, you already have everything you need to deal with PMS, depression, the tendency to criticize, impatience and past failures. God, who is more generous than any historical figure of any time period, has already given to us entirely everything that we need to live a life of fullness and joy. It is a precious promise that we get to be partakers of the divine nature. We are not an earthly counterfeit but we get to look, act, talk, walk and emote just like Jesus did when He was on earth. God's very own divine nature can replace our weaknesses in every area of life if we just allow Him to do so. When we walk and live in the Spirit, we are actually walking in the opposite direction of our natural tendencies and our own genetic pre-disposition. If you will apply these verses to your life, you will be the very best version of yourself possible. Will it take hard work? Yes! It takes whole-hearted diligence, but God Himself will strengthen you and cheer you on as you become more like Him every day of your life!
