“And the believers were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 13:52 NLT)
Online shopping can be tricky. When I order something from Amazon, I check for a few things: will the order be shipped directly from Amazon or a third party? Is it in stock? Does the product have lots of reviews from reliable sources? Are the reviews from real buyers or written by those who have something to gain? I have learned from past mistakes. I have ordered things that looked as if they were a great deal initially, only to find out later that I’ve been charged extra for shipping because they were from different vendors.
“In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.” (Psalm 33:21 NLT)
Joy is in stock. We merely have to avail ourselves of that which is available. Yet, we have to make sure we seek for it from a trustworthy source. The joy that is offered through the love of God is complete and mature. It is not cheap, but neither does it have any hidden costs. This joy comes from the Holy Spirit. It fills us up until we are spilling over onto those around us. Why would we choose anything else?
