J.O.Y.

At home we often use the acronym J.O.Y. which stands for Jesus, Others and Yourself. When you think about it this should be the order in which we live, putting Jesus first, others second and yourself last. Now take a moment and think about the order you truly live. Is it yourself first, others second and Jesus third? Or maybe Others first, Jesus second and yourself third? Even though the order may be close, it's not right. If you want true joy, the order must be correct. If you put Jesus first in your life you're on the right track. By putting others second you definitely on your way. And by putting yourself first, you're definitely not going to go wrong. The combination of these three in right order will open the floodgates of joy to come bursting open. Today you may have to battle to keep them in the right order, but believe me, it will be well worth it if you're victorious :)
