What do you think about when you hear the word "joy"? Some people would define joy as a happy feeling. But true Biblical JOY is SO much more than that. JOY is the happy state that results from knowing and serving God, and true joy is the fruit of a right relationship with God. It is not something people can
create by their own efforts. I found a wonderful link I'd like to share with you regarding the true definition of joy. If you have time this week, I would encourage you to visit this link and read more about the true meaning of joy. Life is difficult, but you CAN know real joy in your life through having a right relationship with Jesus Christ, the one true God. You can find this link here: The Meaning of Joy. Try to create something this week that makes you think about the joy God has given you.
We had a great week here at Word Art Wednesday with our all-time high in entries. Our Design Team was busy visiting all your lovely blogs and seeing the beautiful art you created to share with us. Thank you SO much for playing along. We look forward each week to having you share the art God has laid on your hearts to create. We love visiting you, and we encourage you to continue to participate and bless us as we share this journey together. We are so blessed by the relationships we are building with you, and we truly care about you.
As always, feel free to save our free weekly word art to your computer. You are welcome to use it in your entry, but not required to do so. As long as you use an encouraging or uplifting sentiment on your project, that is fine. You can also link more than one project each week (up to 5). The more, the merrier. We just hope that God's Word will be a blessing and encouragement to you each week. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules under our page tab for "Challenge Rules".

It was truly a blessing to work in my art journal, after a stressful week thus far. Blessings!
I am having trouble with the word verication on some blogs. It would be nice if folks used comment verification instead. Quite frankly, it discourages me from leaving comments. There are some great projects and all so full of JOY!!! Thanks for sharing. Also, congratulations Tameko!!!
Such beautiful Word Art with this encouraging verse and fabulous inspiration by the DT!! ~ Blessings, Tracey

Thanks for the love you left in my gallery. Yes our children and adults were that attire. We've had so many children come to Christ in the last couple of months my heart has been overjoyed.
