The Answer to Remaining Joy...

Dear sisters, Let me encourage you with some teaching from the Apostle Paul. We see that he suffered much (2 Corinthians 11:23-28) and yet, he remained joyful. He pressed on energetically for the Kingdom and left fruit throughout the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. How was he able to press on in His faith?

The answer lies in 2 Corinthians 5. Please read it. What we learn from this is that Godly motives keep us healthy, joyful, and fruitful. The deepest motive in his heart was Christ’s love. 2 Corinthians 5:14 says, “Christ’s love compels us.” Paul continually rested in the truth of God’s love for him. This became his power to do the ministry. Sisters, take time to ponder the deep love of Christ today. Then pass this love onto others!
