Real Joy
For many, life seems dull at best, and at worst,
filled with anxiety and turmoil. Our nation’s
constitution guarantees the pursuit of happiness
as a right, but it does not guarantee our ability
to find it. It often appears people are in need of
a JOY transfusion. However, they may not know
where to get one. I am persuaded that no method
or program would attract unbelievers to the
church like the message that real happiness can
be pursued and gained in Jesus Christ, the Lord.
Here comes the irony: most nonbelievers do not
associate the concept of joy with church or
Christianity. I have asked myself do they have a
reason to think that way? Haven’t we been to
church services where the assembly looked like
they had gathered to mourn a defeat rather
than a victory? Too many Christians look like
they were baptized in freshly squeezed lemon
juice. God intends Christians to live a joy-filled
life. The Psalms are full of invitations to come
before the Lord with a spirit of gladness
(Psalm 100:1–2). Brothers and sisters, we must
remember that real joy does not come from
things, nor is it found in some package. Real joy
only springs forth from a close relationship with
the Savior, Jesus.
~Clark Tatum
