LIVING IN COMPLETE JOY

LIVING IN COMPLETE JOY
A couple of days ago=God
Was BORN in to this world
In the form of
The BABY Jesus
IF there were ever a time
To LIVE with COMPLETE JOY
To live in complete happiness
It is now=TODAY
"I am WRITING this
So that OUR JOY
May be COMPLETE"                                                                                                        1 John 1:4
There are all KINDS of
DIVIDES in the world today=
Political=religious=personal=and
Everyone seems to have their OWN OPINION
On everything=it is DIFFICULT
But the JOY OF CHRIST=
The JOY of God LIVING
In our world
Leaves me with HOPE
We just have
To keep our HEARTS OPEN
To God=to give up
TOTAL CONTROL of
Our lives
And let his LOVE
FILL us up
John the Baptist said=
"That JOY is mine=and it
Is now COMPLETE=
He must become greater
I must become less"                                                                                            John 3:29-30
And isn't that the way it is
With us=the MORE control
WE give up=the more God
Takes over=the MORE JOY
WE feel
"........then make
My JOY COMPLETE
By being like-minded
Having the same love
Being ONE in spirit
And of one mind"                                                                                                            Philippians 2:2
"I have MUCH
To WRITE to you
But I do not want
To use paper and ink
Instead I hope to VISIT
And talk with you
Face to face
So that our JOY
May be COMPLETE"                                                                                                         2 John  :12
I am JOYFUL=because I
Am MOTIVATED by God=and he
Has touched me
With FAITH=HOPE=and LOVE
Our God is a GENEROUS God
And even when times are TOUGH
As they often are=He HELPS ME/US
To keep on going
"The GENEROUS will themselves
Be BLESSED=for they share
Their food with the poor"                                                                                   Proverbs 22:9
I think that is
What the EARLY DISCIPLES
Of Christ felt
After seeing the RESURRECTED CHRIST
They were LIVING
IN COMPLETE JOY
They handed down
What they WITNESSED
So that we can feel
The SAME WAY TODAY
Living=IN COMPLETE JOY
In Jesus' name=and in the name of OUR EVERLASTING FATHER
