John 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.Christians should be the most joyful people in the world, hard to be sometimes but Jesus Christ completes our joy!!!!! We do not always trust Jesus and His promises so we become stressed, worried, angry, and snarky. Sometimes because of this mistrust in Christ Jesus we encounter problems in relationships, friendships, youth groups, churches and just life in general. Joy should fill us all in all we do, we should be able able serve with joy, encourage people with joy, disciple Christians with joy and love others with the joy of the Lord which makes us strong!!!!!!!! I personally struggle with experiencing the joy provided by Christ because I do not trust the promises of the Bible given by God. When I am joyful my smile is bright, I bring joy to others because of Christ and I have a fresh outlook on life. I pray we all are able to trust the promises of Jesus Christ He has given specifically to each one of us so that His joy may be fulfilled in us!!The joy of the Lord is our strength!!Mark Cannon
