1 Thessalonians 2:20
“For ye are our glory and joy.”
Your joy makes our day! Basically, what Paul is saying is it’s joyful to see others flourish. Paul’s joy was that what God had called him to do, was actually working. When we take equipment and we use it for anything other than what the equipment was purposely made to be used for, it doesn’t usually work very well. It’s not a happy camper. However, when you take that same equipment and use it for whatever it was supposed to be used for, it works seamlessly.
We were made to help each other. Jesus said go and tell others what God has done for you. When you’re obedient, you will experience a supernatural joy and peace. Then your happiness flourishes because you see the affirmation of the power of Christ in your life. It effects everything around you.
The gift of joy is waiting for you.
