"Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete."
To live in the joy of the Resurrection requires us to live with our eyes fixed on heaven when we will see Jesus again. But that does not mean we cannot experience joy while here on earth. When we focus on Jesus and ask for His intercession, we can experience His joy even in the face of difficulties.
“We can experience this joy when our focus shifts from ourselves to Christ. The acronym JOY can help us to remember this: Jesus, Others, You.”1
Today's Challenge:
Write down three practical actions you can take to shift your focus from yourself to Christ. Implement them throughout the day today.
