What is True Joy found through Connection & Relationships?

😄What is true joy found through connection & relationships?😄

Simply stated, true joy is found and multiplied when people are simply glad to be with one another. When we are able to say, "there's no other place I'd rather be and no one else I'd rather be with!" And it shows! Especially on the face.

Are you familiar with the Aaronic Benediction often said at the end of a Christian Worship Gathering? One part of it includes: "The Lord lift His countenance upon you" or "The Lord's face shine upon you." Believing the Lord delights in us, smiles upon us cultivates joy in our hearts and minds and when we take that same posture to our communities, friends, and family... joy is multiplied.

Easier said than done, right? Maybe so. But if we choose to see others the way God sees them (and us), the Holy Spirit will help us to let joy and gladness be upon our face and within our communities. This is ingredient 1 of 4 to truly develop and maintain vibrant, transformative communities that promote spiritual formation in our walk as disciples of Jesus.
