Can you still have joy on a day when you went unnoticed, nobody applauded you, nothing new happened, or even on a day that you made a mistake?
That question gets to the root of where we have learned to look for confidence. 1 John 1 connects joy to fellowship with the Father and with Jesus Christ. That means joy is available to the believer, and it does not have to rise and fall with recognition, accomplishments, possessions, or somebody else’s opinion of you.
So enjoy the promotion, thank God for the house, celebrate what you accomplish, and serve faithfully wherever He has placed you. Just keep your heart close enough to Jesus that none of those things have to carry the weight of telling you who you are.🙏🏾
"What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ" - Philippians 3:8
