The final day of my Joy Challenge.
But I am leaving you with a
Joy that is Unending
This experience over the past 40 days
(okay, okay... it's been way more than 40 days)

How graceful God is to pursue me each and every day.
That He wants to make each day new in my life and wipe out the previous days sins that I may be a testimony not to my own strength and doing, but to the work that He has done in my life.
That is my true source of
JOY
God's grace that renews me each day.
In times of happiness and sadness
In times of community and loneliness
In times of old and new
God offers me His grace
And with joyful thanksgiving I will show my gratitude to God by offering acceptable service to God with reverence and awe.
How will you thank God for your source of JOY today?
