TOTAL JOY IN GOD!

 

TOTAL JOY IN GOD!

 

Do you find it EASY

To say “I LOVE YOU”

To someone?

 

It is NOT ALWAYS

The easiest thing

To do

 

I tell a lot OF PEOPLE

I really love them=

And I really do=

I CARE about people

 

Jesus EXPRESSES his love

To his disciples today=

Who PASS HIS LOVE

On to us

 

And NOW we have JESUS’ LOVE

And we have the FATHER’S LOVE too

We find=TOAL JOY=

TOTAL JOY IN GOD!

 

“Jesus said to his disciples’=

‘As the Father LOVES ME-

So I also LOVE YOU

 

Remain in my LOVE……..

I have told you this

So that MY JOY in you

And YOUR JOY-

Might be complete’”                                                                                                  John 15:9, 11

 

We are loved by Jesus

And we are told

To REMAIN in this love=

So that we=might find

COMPLETE JOY IN GOD!

 

“This day

Is holy to our Lord=

 

Do not grieve=FOR THE JOY

Of the Lord=is your strength”                                                                            Nehemiah 8:10

 

“The prospect=of the righteous

IS JOY=but the hopes

Of the wicked=come to nothing”                                                                             Proverbs 10:28

 

“GLADNESS AND JOY

Will overtake them

And sorrow and sighing

Will flee away”                                                                                                   Isaiah 51:11

 

It really can HELP

If we pause

And take a deep breath

 

And REFLECT that

The LOVE of the Lord

The JOY of the Lord

Is as close=as our next breath

 

And it helps=TO KNOW

That others in God the Father

Really love us too

That joy in Jesus

That joy=in our LOVING GOD

 

“……..then make

MY JOY COMPLETE

By being likeminded

 

Having the same love

Being one in spirit

And of one mind”                                                                                                           Philippians 2:2

 

It makes me feel so good

To know

That God and Jesus

LOVE ME

 

And it makes me feel so good

To feel

THE LOVE OF OTHERS

TOTAL LOVE=TOTAL JOY IN GOD!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER JOYFUL =ever loving=HOLY FATHER GOD!
