DELIGHT OUR HEARTS WITH JOY: REST AND REFRESH

FRIDAY, WEEK THREE: JOY

As we now rest and refresh ourselves in the Joy of God in Christ, I share a post from my blogger friends, Don and Jo. When I read the post, I was profoundly touched by their beautiful example of the Joy we can find when we let God lead us. Jo’s painting of Jesus really uplifts my spirit–she seems to capture the Joy of Christ so well! I had commented on their inspirational post and painting, and in his reply, Don said,

“I read your comment to Jo, and she teared up. She is practicing painting portraits in case the Lord gives her another assignment. Jo and I are trying to learn to overcome our human desire to do things for the Lord and replace it with doing things with the Lord. Thank you for your kind comment.”

Their words open up another path to Joy! We can rest and refresh in Joy as we “learn to overcome our human desire to do things for the Lord and replace it with doing things with the Lord.”

Thank you, Don and Jo, for allowing me to share your post–and your Joy.
