Many of us don’t experience the fullness of joy in our lives. It’s not because we lack faith or because we’re disconnected from God’s presence—it’s often because we haven’t fully understood the deep relationship between our sorrow for sin and the joy that comes from forgiveness. In fact, too few of us take time to truly reflect on the joy that salvation brings. And if our joy feels incomplete, it might be because we haven’t gone deep enough in dealing with our sin. This week, as you pray, fast, and reflect, ask yourself: Is my joy full? And if not, how can I experience more of it through the Holy Spirit? If you’ve ever felt like your joy isn’t quite where it should be, this devotional by Kim Reisman might give you the perspective and encouragement you need.
