- 1 sentence you might be tempted to agree
- Many times in life, we get to be on cloud nine, where it’s all bliss, elation and happiness. Some other times, it’s the other way round, that place where no one wants to be - sad and down.
- Ever taken out time to figure out the things that trip us over when we should be joyful? Let’s talk about KILLJOYS in this edition.
- From God (the author of joy Himself), to fellow humans (with special emphasis on our marriage partners) and materials (the things we get addicted to); what sort of relationship with these will give joy or kill it?
- As you read through, our prayer is that God will not only show you the definition of true joy, He will make you begin to experience it. No longer will your joy be cut short in Jesus’ name.
- Welcome to grenepages.
Beware of what you wish -
You might just get it without warning!
