Joy in Connection

Hope & Restoration

Scripture

John 15:11

“I have told you this, so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”

Devotion

Joy is complete when shared with Christ. When you are connected to God through Christ, when you know His presence, when you experience His love, joy becomes possible even in sorrow. Scripture teaches that Christ's joy can be in you. This is not superficial happiness but deep joy rooted in relationship with God. Cultivate connection with Christ. In Him, joy is complete.

Today’s Step

How is your connection with Christ? How can you deepen your awareness of His presence? Today, spend time with Him. Let His joy fill you.

Prayer

God, help me to know Christ's presence. Help me to experience His joy. Help my joy to be complete in connection with Him. Help me to not seek happiness elsewhere but to find it in relationship with You.
