❤️ Today’s Agape Message: Love That Brings Joy

Today’s theme is Love That Brings Joy.Joy is different from happiness — happiness depends on what happens, but joy depends on Who holds our hearts.Joy is rooted in Christ.Joy is steady, unshaken, and anchored in hope — even on hard days.And when we love others with Christlike kindness, compassion, and generosity, we bring joy into places that desperately need it.

Romans 15:13 (KJV):

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”

💭 Reflection Thought:Where can I bring joy today — to my home, my workplace, or someone who’s hurting?
