Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer. On today's

program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, joy and enjoyment. There is a way to enjoy

everything we do, even while driving in traffic or cleaning up the house, because if we have Jesus,

we have joy. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Now we're talking about the subject of joy and enjoyment.

Jesus said he came that we might have and enjoy our lives.

Everybody say, enjoy my life.

In abundance to the full until it overflows.

So we hear a lot about joy.

The joy of the Lord is my strength.

I've lost my joy.

I need more joy.

But I said this morning that we have joy.

Jesus is in us,

and we have whatever Jesus has.

He's in us.

All the fruit of the spirit,

so many good things are in us.

Jesus left us his peace.

So it's not a matter of trying to get things

that we already have.

It's a matter of learning what's blocking those things from coming forth in our lives. And so we have joy, but also something I think that we miss is that God wants us to enjoy our lives.
