Bible in a year: : Revelation 21-22

Thoughts for Today
It's not only ok for "real" Christians to laugh. It's imperative! Today's scripture makes it clear that the Bible puts joy in the non-optional category. Philippians 4:4 AMP says, "Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice!"

God wants us to be happy, and he makes it possible. There is only one catch to all of this. It is impossible to experience real joy unless you have invited the King of Joy, Jesus, to come into your life.

Consider this ...
Are you experiencing the joy of the Lord? Joy that gives you laughter ... joy that sustains you even through difficult times?

If not, perhaps you've never invited Jesus into your life ... Or maybe you have, but have continued doing things your way, rather than his way.

Jesus wants to help you, to strengthen you, to fill you with the laughter and joy that only he can give.

Consider making the King of Joy, Jesus, Lord of your life today.
