Experiencing Jesus is Real JOY!

Becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ requires us to unlearn several things: selfishishness and being mean/evil towards others. Also, letting go of "bad" habits, people, and many other things in order to follow Him. At the same time we will begin to change our lives from being self-centered to God-centered through developing "good" habits of discipleship...
love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control

God expects every follower to develop these behaviors...and that takes time! So as you begin to experience growth in your discipleship, I warn you now...you'll be talked about and ridiculed, and people will hate on you for no reason! But don't be discouraged, for that's all part of becoming a disciple.

Just continue showing the world that you're serious about your salvation walk & commitment to your new life in Christ Jesus and as you mature and are strengthened in your relationship with God, you'll begin to experience real JOY in your life...when you put
Jesus first-Others next-and Yourself last!
