The Pioneer and Perfecter of Faith

Joy is something the message of Jesus causes in our hearts. And once it's there, it may be covered up... we may look elsewhere... experience other emotional things that cover it over... but that joy is still there. Sometimes we just need to rip away those barnacles and have that joy shine through us again. Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us..." His joy imparted to us. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Wayne shares his thoughts on what joy means to him.
