"Joy was in fact the most characteristic result of all his ministry to ragamuffins."(Reflections for Ragamuffins February 10)
What brings you joy in life? I know for me it is being with people, especially people who I love and care about. I've known joy in seeing good things happen to people I care about. I experience joy sometimes just in the fact that I get the gift of another day. I experience joy when I've had a moment to commune with God and invite the presence of Christ into my day.
If our faith brings us joy, then why do I sometimes encounter people who have joy in Jesus but seem angry at everything else. How did that relationship which seems so positive build into such a negative attitude towards others? I don't get it.
Is my joy complete? Not yet, but it gets closer everyday.
Blessings,
Ed
