No one can steal the joy,
bubbling inside of me
no problem big or small
can rob me of my glee.
No test or trial,
can take my joy away
no amount of pain will cause
my joyousness to give way.
No bumps in the road,
will cause my joy to cease
no detour along the way
will seize my future peace.
No sorrow or heartbreak,
can wipe my joy out
in all things good or bad
it’s for joy, them I count.
No one can steal from me,
not one thing can capture
the joy I have looking . . .
forward to the rapture!
~~~~~~~~
” My brethren, count it all
joy when ye fall into
divers temptations;”

In all that is happening since the election I am ever more confident that only focusing in on Jesus will keep us from losing our JOY!

This is very good timing Deborah Ann. There is so much hatred for everything out there since the election are you doing before the election this is really good coming out of this you are trying to say you need to communicate and love each other and have peace this poem is wonderful too. Joy need to have that in our hearts, mine’s Souls. Our communications. Very well said thank you so much Donna Marie

I love this so much. I feel the same way – joy can not be stolen if it comes from Christ. It is locked inside my soul and shows up when I need it. What an awesome Savior we have!
