<p><strong>Joy isn’t a personality trait. It’s a practice.</strong></p><p>The Bible doesn’t tell us to wait for joy—it tells us to <strong>choose it, protect it, and live from it</strong>.</p><p>In this message, we unpack what Scripture actually says about joy: • Why enjoyment is possible <em>every single day</em> • How the joy of the Lord becomes real strength—not fake positivity • Why your <strong>thoughts, words, and choices</strong> quietly determine your spiritual health • How joy is sustained in community through “one another” living</p><p>Jesus said He came to give us <strong>life abundantly</strong>—not someday, but today. So why do so many believers live depleted, anxious, and joyless?</p><p>Joy grows when we: ✔ Guard our minds ✔ Speak with faith ✔ Obey even when it’s inconvenient ✔ Choose unity, humility, and love toward others</p><p>This isn’t hype. It’s formation. It’s light for the eyes and strength for the bones.</p><p>📖 Key Scriptures: 1 Peter 1:8 • John 10:10 • Nehemiah 8:10 • Philippians 4:8 • Proverbs 18:21 • Matthew 1:24 and more</p><p>If you’re tired of surviving and ready to <strong>live with strength, clarity, and joy</strong>, this message is for you.</p>
