the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self -control (Gal 5:22)
Is joy my word for 2011? I did say on my birthday, a big number followed by a two, that this year I was going to concentrate on the "two" and experience life from the joyful eyes of a two-year-old.
Jesus, full of joy in the Holy Spirit..."If you love Me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of Truth....I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (Luke 10:21, John 14:16-17, Luke 15:11)
That sounds like more than joy of a two-year-old, although Jesus did/does have an extra tender spot for children. However, it sounds more like a mature joy to me.
