READ
John 15:9-11
9 “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. 10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. 11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!”
REFLECT
Joy comes from a consistent relationship with Jesus Christ. When we are intertwined with Him, He will help us not only walk through this life but help us to be filled with joy. True joy transcends the rolling waves of circumstance. All we have to do is obey His commandments and remain in His love to experience overflowing joy.
APPLY
Q: What do we have to do to be filled with joy?
Q: Are you experiencing overflowing joy in your life? Are you obeying God’s commandments and remaining in Him?
Q: Do others see the overflowing joy in your life? How can you show them?

"Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us."
Heavenly Father, forgive me when I do not obey you. I want to experience overflowing joy in my life and share that with others. Show me how to be more connected to you and help me remain in you. Thank you for loving me despite of my faults. Your promises are trustworthy and good.
