 When our lives are filled with peace, faith and joy, people will want to know what we have. Author: David Jeremiah |
| As the saints of God meet together Jesus still manifests Himself. And seeing Him, there comes to us a new joy and peace, a new sense of the purpose and worthfulness of life. Seeing Him there comes to us a new power for battle and for conquest. Author: Clovis G. Chappell |
| But life's joys are only joys if they can be shared. Author: Ravi Zacharias

| Find joy in the ordinary. Author: Max Lucado |
| In the long run, there can be no joy for anybody until there is joy finally for us all. Author: Frederick Buechner |
| The joy of Christ and the joy of the world cannot consist together. A heart delighted with worldly joy cannot feel the consolations of the Spirit; the one of these destroys the other: but in sanctified trouble, the comforts of God's word are felt and perceived in a most sensible manner.

| Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life. Author: Alexander MacLaren |
| To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty, without thinking of joy, and then, like sheep, it comes most surely unsought, and we "being in the way," the angel of God, bright-haired joy, is sure to meet us. Author: Alexander MacLaren |
| Do not let the empty cup be your first teacher of the blessings you had when it was full. Do not let a bard place here and there in the bed destroy your rest. Seek, as a plain duty, to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life. Author: Alexander MacLaren |
| The joys of heaven are not the joys of passive contemplation, of dreamy remembrance, of perfect repose; but they are described thus: "They rest not day nor night." "His servants serve Him, and see His face." Author: Alexander MacLaren |
| If you have no joy, there's a leak in your Christianity somewhere. Author: Billy Sunday |
| The purest joy in the world is joy in Christ Jesus. When the Spirit is poured down, His people get very near and clear views of the Lord Jesus. They eat His flesh and drink His blood. They come to a personal cleaving to the Lord. They taste that the Lord is gracious. His blood and righteousness appear infinitely perfect, full, and free to their souls. They sit under His shadow with great delight. They rest in the cleft of the rock. Their defense is the munitions of rocks. They lean on the Beloved. They find infinite strength in Him for the use of their soul - grace for grace - all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end. Author: Robert Murray McCheyne |
