One of the fruits of the spirit given to us is JOY. This means that once you give your life to Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes and lives in you, and then you will overflow with JOY as a response. 

But let's be honest, there are a lot of times in life where we feel that our joy has been sucked out of us. That there is no way that we can get out of bed, there's no way that we can smile, and there is surely no way that we can worship. Yet that's a lie the enemy wants us to believe. Joy isn't a by-product of Jesus, rather it's the very nature of who He is. 

September 2022, I found myself with what felt like the breath had been knocked out of me and my back was on the ground, with no strength to get back up. I had to reclaim what the enemy wanted to steal from me, I had to reclaim the Joy of my salvation. 

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.” - Psalm 51:12

The enemy cannot take something from you that he didn't give you in the first place. He cannot change the destiny of your salvation and because he can't, he can't change the source of your joy, Jesus. 

Even though your circumstances are changing, your joy remains steadfast because Jesus is your joy and he never changes. I had to reclaim my inheritance of a daughter of the king. He gifts me with his Joy every new morning. That's how “Today's Joys'' began. It's simple yet life-changing.
