LETTING THE JOY IN


 

 

 

 

 

 

LETTING THE JOY IN

 

We ALL have all kinds

Of TROUBLES in

This world

 

Health troubles=Financial troubles=

And all kinds of RELATIONSHIP troubles

 

Sometimes we have

To REMEMBER to slow

Ourselves down and LET

The JOY IN

 

Being OPEN=to the

JOY OF GOD

 

“WHY are you troubled?

And why

Do questions ARISE

In your hearts?

 

LOOK at my hands

And my feet

 

That it is I MYSELF”                                                                                                       Luke 24:38-39

 

The JOY of God

Letting the JOY IN

 

Sometimes=we make our troubles

Out= to be BIGGER than

They are

 

Sometimes=there is a

SIMPLE SOLUTION=and sometimes

We just NEED

To be OPEN

To the JOY of God

And of Jesus

 

“Surely=you have granted him

UNENDING BLESSINGS

 

And made him glad

With the joy

Of your PRESENCE”                                                                                                           Psalm 21:6

 

“Shout aloud

And SING for Joy

People of Zion

 

For great=IS

The HOLY ONE of Israel

Among you”                                                                                                                Isaiah 12:6

 

“………Your wife Elizabeth

Will bear you a SON

And you

Are to call him John

 

He will be a JOY

And a delight to you

And many

 

Will REJOICE

Because of his birth”                                                                                                           Luke 1:13-14

 

LETTING the joy of Jesus

Into our lives

 

There is a GREAT distance

Between our weaknesses and

The PROMISES of God

 

During this EASTER SEASON=

Let us NOT blind

To the promises of God

 

Let us be FILLED with the

JOY of the PRESENCE of God

 

“Because of my INTEGRITY

You uphold me

And set me in

YOUR PRESENCE FOREVER”                                                                                            Psalm 42:12

 

RISEN Jesus=we REST in your PRESENCE

And we LET the JOY of your COMING

Rest within us

 

In the names of Jesus our Lord

And his LOVING-glorious FATHER
