The Christian life is centered in joy! Sometimes I forget that. I get caught up in the overwhelming task of bringing the gospel to teenagers in Alvarado. There is a desperate need for these kids to know Jesus, it's true. But that doesn't mean that we can't have fun and enjoy ourselves while we serve Him! In fact, the joy of the Lord is one of the primary reasons for ministering to others. "restore to me the joy of Your salvation... Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You." it's cool to see how those two things work together! Joy without teaching about Jesus? Anybody can do that... besides, it doesn't change lives... Teaching without joy? I'm afraid too many people do that... But put them together and sinners will turn to the Lord. That's what we need. Lord, help me to be joyful in serving you!
