our God is a God of Joy, and He wants to give Himsef as joy to us, to fill us with Himself as joy.
1. God the Father is joy.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Joy is one of God's attributes. if we enjoy God as grace, we will have peace, and if we have peace, we will have joy.
2. Christ is also joy
John 15:11 These things I have spoken to you that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be made full.
when Christ abides in us, His joy abides in us to be the source of our joy that our joy may abund and become full.
3. there is joy in the Holy Spirit
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
when we touch the Lord in our spirit, enjoy the Lord, who wants to be our enjoyment, we will become joyful, making our soul happy in the Lord.
how can the joy of the Triune God practically become our joy? if we abide in the Lord and keep abiding in Him by abiding in His love, we will be filled with joy. the primary matter that we need to take care of is enjoying the Lord. no matter what kind of outward circumstances we are in, the Lord who lives in us is our joy. while we enjoy the Lord in many aspects in our daily life, we are a joyful people, and any difficulty we encounter will help to deepen our joy in the Lord.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
