JOYOUS CHRISTIANITY. “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior”(Luke 1:46-47) ‘Many people view their faith as a heavy and unbearable burden.They frown upon any semblance of light-heartedness in spiritual matters.They stoop somberly under the heavy burden of their spiritual conscience. But the faith of the Christian should be a joyous experience.Your Father takes joy in and is interested in your life.He is happy when you are happy;He consoles you in sadness and grief;He supports you when the burden becomes too much for you;He helps you up when you stumble over obstacles and He enjoys your successes as you enjoy them yourself. Christianity does not eliminate joy and happiness from life.Through your communion with the living Christ,you live in the blessing of His presence everyday.The more you praise and thank Him,the more happiness you glean from your spiritual life. Your surrender and devotion should be such that the joy of the Lord radiates across the entire spectrum of your life.Then everyday becomes a joyous celebration of Christ.’
