What I like about lesson six is that the main reason is for us to learn the complete fullness of joy that God gives us. This is my favorite lesson because in my life, I have never really experienced the true/complete fullness of God’s joy. Two things that I am missing out from God’s joy are if I am responding to his joy. This is my problem because in my heart, I have always had a lot of worldly thoughts in my heart. And lastly is that I didn’t know that God’s joy was so mighty that it can prevail/cure our heartaches.

     Ever since in my life, I have always thought that I needed more of God’s mightiness. I thought that his joy wasn’t good enough to help heal the heartaches that I have spiritually. After Bro. Danny taught us this lesson, my heart was relieved from its pain and I had joy that I have never experienced in my whole life. In my life, I usually have a lot of problems, about my family, house, and those things. All I wanted for my life to have for my family mainly was to have joy.

     In lesson six, I tell us that God’s joy is almighty as I have said before. Without his joy, I thought that my family would be in great stress and every problem. This is because my family was a lot of time in stress and didn’t like their life, ever since my dad’s boss couldn’t pay him the money. My dad was stressed out for at least 3 months. My mom was very worried about my dad stressing out. So what I did was pray. My prayer didn’t come true, but I think I understood why my prayer wasn’t accepted. I think it was because that God knew that my dad was able to get a new job later and get the money that he deserved and stuff. There may have been other reasons, but this is probably the main reason why my prayer was rejected.

In this lesson, it talks about how the lesson is going to be about having a change, a need to have a change in our life. When I saw the title of the lesson, I thought in my mind that I didn’t need a change. Because I thought that I was already a good Christian. But I was wrong. At first I didn’t like this lesson. I learned the lesson though. And the lesson was always in my mind. The reason is because my parents always constantly reminded me that in order to be a better Christian, I have to change my doings.

     In the month of January, I went to morning service for the first time (not really but first time of 2010). And also I went to the winter retreat. The reason why I changed my life from the winter retreat was because of the first message at the camp. About standing up for God. I don’t really know why this changed me in my life, but there was a reason. When I came back home, and on the month of January, my parents told me that on Tuesday, there was a lot of people that came. This made me say in my heart that I want to come as well. The reason is because I noticed that the teenagers/children that came there was faithful. They wanted to hear God’s word for wisdom for the day.

     This is why I had the need of changing my life. I needed this change because in my Christian life, I have always been faithful to church, but not outside of it. The morning service and the winter retreat gave me a need for change. But I didn’t really know how it did, but I knew that in a way, my heart desired for the need of changing my spiritual life. Not also that, but my physical life as well. This is because in order to be Christ-like, we have to have a change in our physical way, and spiritual way.
