Share your Joy!

Last night I got a call from a young man who has gone through some incredible troubles the past couple of years. Going from standout athlete to convict in one year can crush your soul. As we talked it became apparent that what he really needed at this particular time was to share his story, to remember what God had done for him in his time of need. The bible tells us to recount the times that we know God has intervened in our lives, to tell those stories to glorify Christ and to encourage others. It should not take a cataclysmic event for us to turn our heart to Jesus. If your thankful today, tell someone! Tell Jesus that you are thankful for the blessings in your life today, and if today seems kind of bleak, thank Him for the coming joy. If you believe you will receive. The Bible says God is a rewarder of those that believe. I know that Christ has already done an amazing thing for you, He died a sinners death on the cross. For that alone we should be eternally thankful! Have joy, it is your strength in the Lord!!
Love in Christ,
Mitch
