Jesus
Others
You

Above is an acrostic that shows the priorities of a Christian—listed in order—to find true joy. The beauty of an acrostic is that they’re so easily remembered; I first heard this JesusOthersYou acrostic nearly ten years ago, and I still think of it often. For our Lord Jesus has said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. -Matthew 22:37-40
