Joy Stealers

Joy stealers, did you ever think of them? They steal your joy just with one statement. You think you have your joy and no one can steal it, but sometimes when you get to school, work, or somewhere in the world your joy is gone just in one minute. Joy stealers do it every day; get you mad, work you up, transfer their mystery, derive pleasure in frustrating joyful people through out the day. Joy stealers think its fun to steal someones joy. While some J.S. find it amusing, some of them it is what they live on. Some are just bullies and like to annoy other people. They do that because they think they are stronger and have more power than the other person, well guess what! God has the most power. That is why we turn to Him when we are faced with J.S. or bullies that we can not handle. He answers our prayers and He is watching over us every day of our lives. If you believe you will go to heaven, a beautiful place where J.S. and bullies are not welcome, a place filled with happy people like you and me, a place where we will live forever with Christ. Rely on God not on flesh and when you are faced with these J.S. and bullies, my friend, turn to God and pray He still answers prayers.. SO PRAY!!!!
