AYoung Woman's Walk with God chapter 3 #1 and 2

A Happy Heart
The fruit of the Spirit is..... joy.
Galatians 5:22

Though most of us don't want to here it, spiritual joy is revealed in the darkness of trial, tragedy, and testing. The blacker the background the greater our joy will sparkle! As a poet reflected, God "sets in pain the jewel of His joy."

Finding out more about Joy

Philippians is a sparkling little epistle of joy! Read it once and you'll find God's joy all over the place.

A Word from God's Word About Joy...

~Joy is important to Jesus- Before His crucifixion Jesus described the special relationship He would have with His disciples if they would abide in Him and His love. He ended by saying, "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." (John 15:11) Jesus wants us to have His wonderful joy.

~ Joy is an expression of godliness- You see, joy is a true sign of the presence of God in our lives. Put differently our joy is, "the joy of God passing through a Christian," "a joy whose foundation is God." As Children of God we have some great reasons to be joyful!

~ Joy is experienced anywhere and at any time- Philippians 4:4 tells us, we are to "rejoice in the Lord always." "In the Lord" means who we are joyful about. "always" means at anytime of the day and no matter where you are!

Verse of the Week

Ephesians 6:1-2

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise.)

Beautiful Girlhood #4

Character Building
"Let every man take heed how he builds."

The most precious earthly treasure a girl can have is good character. Her character is what she really is. If she will look beyond what she appears to be, and what people think or say about her, and look at her heart fairly and honestly, judging herself by the standards of right and wrong to which her own conscience gives approval, then she can know whether she has a good character. Some girl will do just about anything to get the approval of her friends, but what she really needs to strive for is the approval of God!
Character isn't given to us, we have to build it up ourselves. Others may pour knowledge into our lives and may set before us the right standards and ideals, but we must do most of it.
Youth is the building time. From infancy to childhood material has been brought together that we may use in our building. There are books, movies, Cd's, tapes, and the list goes on of things that will help us, but the main help that we need is God. We need to go to God and ask him to help us walk, talk, and act, in a way pleasing to Him.
Character building is a serious undertaking. Satan doesn't want us to walk, talk, and act in a way pleasing to God. Satan will try to attack us in every way he can. We must be on our guard and fight to be pleasing to God.
Character-building goes on every day, for good or bad, each sees stone hewn straight and true, or misshapen and crooked. If temptations are resisted and and obstacles overcome, evil thoughts and feelings quenched, and kind and noble thoughts encouraged in their place, then a stone has been hewn for victory and right; but if temptations have been yielded to, and evil thought and feelings have been harbored and cultivated, if wrong motives have been allowed, then stone is unfit for a good building. The choices you make now build the character that shall be yours through life.
She who has an ideal character is first of all pure and true, then earnest and sincere, patient and gentle, and more ready to serve than to be served. It's easier to go against the traits above than it is to go with them. Bad character grows without effort, nut the consequences are bad.
We must go against Satan and what the culture says is 'cool'. We need to think W.W.J.D. What Would Jesus Do! Not W.W.W.D What Would the World Do. Follow God and His ways.
