You’re missing out big time if you’re not practicing this daily. Joy is very important in my life. You hear what the Bible says: that it is like medicine. It cures. When you have joy, it gladdens your heart. It gives you energy. It gives you life. Many things can happen to you, but with joy in your heart, you can overcome it. It would help if you were not too serious all the time.
Some of us are always focused on getting more money, prestige, or relaxation. Don’t be too serious all the time. Find time even to sit down and enjoy the presence of the Lord around you. It gives joy. Try it. Our hearts are made for the Lord. Joy in our hearts helps us overcome many things.

If you don’t like it, you throw it away or return it. We are getting used to throwing away. Throw away plates, cutlery, food, and everything…

Love Is Not Pompous
Love is not pompous. There was a sick man on his bed. He warned the children, telling them that pompousness makes you empty. Because he remembered all the wealth he amassed, and he realized that the thing that gave him joy is not all this world. The only thing he remembers is the day he helped someone. That was his joy…
