When we abide in Jesus Christ, it is absolutely expected that joy flow into us. That doesn't mean that everything will be alright and that troubles will not come, but that even in the midst of hardships, God's presence can bring us fullness of joy.

The Bible speaks endlessly about the abundance of joy that comes with God's Spirit. The pure essence of God's presence just overflows with joy and scripture even tells us that a natural fruit of the Holy Spirit is joy. If you're seeking joy today, find it in Jesus Christ because His very presence gives an outflow of joy that knows no boundaries.

If you're dismayed, depressed, struggling to find hope and vibrance, never forget to run to God and seek His joy that is promised like the rising of the sun. Here are eight verses that assure us that we can and will find joy in Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 35:10 “And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” (Pixabay)
