Got Joy...

A hardened heart can never truly have Joy when it's full of bitterness and pride. 
A heart filled with Joy reflects outwardly on our face. As we love ourself, we love our neighbor and there is Joy if we are at peace within self.

The fruit of the Spirit begins with having inner love and then joy and we have peace in it. If we are not at peace, we have a deficiency in love and joy.

Philippians 2:2 "Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind."

If we're in a constant conflict and not truly happy, we have a deficiency in Gods love for it brings inner peace and love. In the fullness of Gods love, we love our neighbor in long suffering, in gentleness, and in goodness in faith. Our Faith isn't real in us when we have a deficiency of the fruit of the spirit.

Philemon 1:7 "For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother."

God already loves us but "Do We love God" for it proves in our actions towards one another in a constant of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. If we lack in one we miss the rest...

Nehemiah 8:10 for the joy of the Lord is your strength. 

True strength doesn't come from a hardened heart but from a heart filled with the Joy of the Lord. Got Joy...Because a smile is the best thing we wear on our face.
