The Victory and Power of Joy

Picture
I recently ran a spartan obstacle with my family. It was my second time and my families first time. My goal was to help my wife finish faith the course, this was my point of joyful living. This race was a difficult one where during the course of it I had to pull my wife while holding onto my shirt, I had to lift her over walls , and the obstacles she couldn’t do; I did for the both of us. Taking us nearly 4 hrs to complete, it was with the greatest joy my wife and I held hands and cross the finish line as they placed medals on our necks.

Joy is a far more dynamicforce than most of us realize. It’s what drove me and it has the power to reignite our passion for laughter and celebration. It can free us to rise above endless demands or challenges as we become more content and thankful. It can change unchangeable circumstances and bring a peace rooted in the remarkable love of God. There’s a deeper power and purpose to this mighty virtue. When you feel stuck in the rut of discouragement, there’s no greater gift than rediscovering joy.

Against all odds, I’ve found my own capacity for joy expanding, and I’ve discovered something quite startling: When we fight back with joy, we lean into the very presence of God — the One who will fill us with it even on our most deflated days. No matter what your circumstances, you can practice defiant joy.

It’s my hope that you may you be drawn closer to Jesus. May you find yourself in awe of God’s goodness no matter what you’re up against. You can discover to embrace a way of living that’s deeper and fuller than you’ve ever known — a life radiant with joy. It’s the weapon you can use to fight life’s toughest battles and the joy of the Lord is our strength.

Remember that happiness is a something that is related to our circumstances. I have learned that having peace and joy in Christ is much more important than the emotion of happiness. Joy is one element in the fruit of the Spirit. If we allow the spirit of God to live within us, then joy will naturally develop. There is a great reward that will come to you as you cast all your cares on to Him and allow you life to be open to what the Spirit of God will show you.
​
True joy (not as the world gives) is part of the evidence that someone knows God.

The Believable Benefits Of Joy

Picture

​There is so much I can share that brings you the life you deserve and want. It is joy that keeps me coming back to what can be the defining difference in a moment by moment look at life. It is the anchor to what keeps you from being carried out to sea or being steered off course. I want to share these benefits to joy, if you need a refresher or some educating :-)

Joy provides endurance and strength. You can face pain. The more joy you have, the more you can handle what you feel without “loosing it!”

Jesus said, “the joy that was set before him enabled Him to endure the cross.”

​Relational joy doesn’t make problems go away, but it keeps the relationship bigger than the problems.

Joy helps you recover from upset; which is a good thing. You want to recover when things go wrong, otherwise at night instead of sleeping your mind races because you worry or you are upset about something. Those in leadership face daily challenges and problems from which they need to recover.

You can persevere through trials. Joy gives you the strength to be a good leader. Hardship becomes one of the best opportunities to show your character and to be an example for other people. When joy levels drop you are more prone to do and say things that you may regret.

Joy gives you strength to live according to your faith and your values. Sometimes when you are overwhelmed, hurt or frustrated, feeling accused, wronged or misunderstood it is easy to forget what is important. Joyis your anchor during the storm.It helps you to remember what is important and to respond in a way that shows character.

Just a jumpstart for you to begin living your best life- Coach Milton
