This morning while I was laying in bed I was just feeling absolutly MISERABLE!! Just rolling around in my self pity and I was in random pain all kind of crazy things were running through my mind. My mom kept coming in my room and I was gettin deeply angry over minor things, I had to just think to myself and say why am I getting so upset over these stupid things?? I finally got up out of the bed and I still was grumpy but not as bad I got someting to eat and decided to lay back down and read my bible, the same self pity and weird thoughts came back to me so strongly I couldnt even read my bible! :eek:
I got up out of the bed and went down to the basement to iron out my moms uniforms for work and my sister was playing some christian music after listening for a while I noticed how happy I was again. Then the thought just came to me I have no business feeling so depressed and achy with crazy thoughts running through my mind... I have the Holy Ghost!! I have joy in me I am redeemed of the Lord!!
So after saying all of that I want to say We that have the Holy Ghost should have Joy in us!:pp Sometimes life can get really rough but we should always have a joyous spirit within us to help us through those hard times. Sometimes we just have to SHAKE OFF those bad thoughts and feeling and give Praise to God because we are REDEEMED!! :bounce:
Acts 13:52 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=51&chapter=13&verse=52&version=9&context=verse)
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:17 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=52&chapter=14&verse=17&version=9&context=verse)
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 15:13 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=52&chapter=15&verse=13&version=9&context=verse)
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
1 Thessalonians 1:6 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=59&chapter=1&verse=6&version=9&context=verse)
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
I dont know if it's the fact that I am young and I love to have fun and be happy or if it is just my passion, but I can't stand to see saints looking or sounding so down in the dumps. I cant stand myself when I get like that :B, when I was in the world I gave all my energy and strength to serve the devil. Now that I am REDEEMED of the lord I have to be happy and Joyous and just praise God until I pass out!:rofl: I cant stand being sad, as I was sharing sometimes when I get so depressed I litterally jump until I feel better..You have got to leap for joy! The Loy of the lord is my strength!!
Just my encouragement for today. Don't let the devil steal your Joy...take it back with authority!!!
Praise God! Leap for your Joy!
Luke 6:23 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=49&chapter=6&verse=23&version=9&context=verse)
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Psalm 35:9 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=23&chapter=35&verse=9&version=9&context=verse)
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
