Sharna W. on the message ‘The Joy of the Lord’

I heard the message this morning from CTMI and was so encouraged and clearly understand now that joy is not an emotional feeling, but it is something that the Holy Spirit puts in our hearts. It is not based on our different situations and circumstances.What encouraged me most was to hear that even when we are going through difficult times, or facing trials in our lives, we can still find the joy of the Lord. When we reach out and ask the Lord to put His joy in our hearts, He will give it to us. Often when I go through difficult situations it’s easy for these things to crush me down and discourage me, but today the Lord has enlightened me to see that the joy that He will put in my heart will lift me up and will be my strength through times of hardship.
