How To Find More Joy In Life | Advent Part 2

How do we grab ahold of the joy that God wants to give us? Before joy can be down in your heart, someone has to put it there. Every major scriptural lesson on joy is of it being GIVEN to us. Joy is not magically found in your heart, it is found in God! I bet you would like more joy in your life, right? Sure, we all do! So, here are three practical ways to take joy with you wherever you go and it is easy to remember. The first thing you do is always put Jesus first. We have to listen to what God has for our lives. The second is others, meaning put others ahead of yourself, after Jesus. The third and final one is yourself. It is easiest to put ourselves first, but that is not how God calls us to live.  If we open our Bibles to James 4:10, it says to “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” Humbling ourselves means putting Jesus and others before ourselves. Love God first, and love others. If you do these two things, everything else will pretty much sort itself out. God will lift you up and give you the gift of joy. Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor and find out how putting God and others first will impact your life in positive ways. #Advent #Joy #TheGiftOfJoy #Christmas #JoyInYourHeart #GiftOfJoy #HumbleYourself #Humility #Prayer #Trust #Faith #God #Jesus #ChristCentered #Christianity #ChristianChurch #BibleBased #LiquidChurch
