Love,
peace and joy are probably the most desirable things in the world. We search
for those, think about them and even pay money to get them. However, the Bible
has some good news for us all and that is joy and the other two are for free.
Anyone can have them. Jesus paid the price for us to experience eternal love of
God, peace of mind and real joy of the heart. I have selected 18 encouraging Bible verses
about joy for
you to think about and find out about the true joy that God gives us. God bless
you with endless joy daily.
