In 2 Corinthians 13:9, the apostle prays that they may be made complete. We start incomplete and must realize it. first, we become aware of the particular good qualities or things that we're lacking. (Acts 16:30-31, Matt. 19:16-22)
Second, we make changes to facilitate adding those to our lives. Third, we develop habits to sustain these additions and keep them going.
Do you lack joy? I John 1:4 says, "And these things we write to you that your joy may be full." People can bring joy (2 Timothy 1:3-4). Events can bring joy (Matt. 2:10, Matt. 28.8,Matt. 13:20-21). They can also bring sadness. These things are not lasting, so we must find a better way.We must find joy in what is written not what is external.
What are some joy killers?
1. Fear, worry, anxiety
2. Anger, unforgiveness, or resentment
3. Doubt and unbelief
The enemy wants to pull you in this direction to kill your joy. The goal is for your joy to be full, so get rid of the joy killers.
