I HAVE UNQUENCHABLE JOY*
By Don Gossett
Read this card aloud each Monday morning.
FIRST: Jesus is the Joy of living. His presence produces fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). His joy is greater than any human pleasure or happiness.
SECOND: His joy is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Lack of strength indicates a real lack of joy. His joy creates spiritual, physical and mental strength.
THIRD: It is this unspeakable joy (1 Peter 1:8), that makes me triumphant over the petty trials of life and a victor in every testing that comes.
FOURTH: "Your joy no man taketh from you," said Jesus (John 16:22). I have unquenchable joy that makes trouble lose its grip on me.
FIFTH: Fellowship with the Father and with the Son, and with one another is the true secret of abiding joy (1 John 1:3‑4, 2 John 12, 2 Timothy l:4). Joy is lost because of broken fellowship, but can be restored (1 John 1:9, Psalm 51:10‑13).
SIXTH: The "Joy of Jesus" is the most attractive thing in the world (John 15:11). My number one business as a Christian is to be His joyful witness (Acts. 1:8, 8:8, 13:52).
SEVENTH: The Word is my great joy‑producer (Jeremiah 15:16). My positive, joyful confession of the Word generates health, victory and miracles!
EIGHTH: Praying in the Name of Jesus gives birth to mighty answers . . . and FULL JOY (John 16:23‑24). I make my prayer requests with joy (Philippians 1:4) because I am confident of "great and mighty things" (Jeremiah 33:3).
NINTH: My message: "Glad tidings of great joy to all people" Luke 2:10. My motive: "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy" Acts 20:24.
