J U M P !
The Joy of the Lord is our strength! Joy is one of the fruits of the Spirit and can often best be seen in our youth.Often, out of a desire to bring our children up in a right and Godly manner, we mistakenly crush their joy, their spirits and their passion.
Jesus said, "At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, 'I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.'" I believe there is more theology in the joy of a child - more faith, and more of God - than in most of the theological pundits I have read.
When in doubt, become childlike. Take on joy, jump for joy -for the joy of the Lord is your strength!
