INTRODUCING “JOY JOTS”! IN THE FIRST VOLUME OF MY FIRST BOOK, “JOY STORIES” – my “JOY JOTS” can be found. The Lord has impressed on me to post these on my site whenever I feel the desire to.
TA TA TA DA… Drum roll please! Here is my first posted “JOY JOT” for ya’ll!
“Never forget – the world does not need WHAT you have – it needs WHO you have!”
(A Reverend Ann Marie Turner original!)
(“JOY JOTS” are, of course, based on the Holy Scriptures.)
Here are Scriptures to impress this first “JOY JOT” truthfully:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. (John 17:17)
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
