JOY IN=GOD'S LOVE

 

JOY IN=GOD’S LOVE

 

Don’t you find it COMFORTABLE

To know

That God loves you?=I do!

 

It is=what gets me UP

In the morning=to FEEL GOD’S LOVE

And SPREAD that love

Along to others

JOY=IN GOD’S LOVE

For us

 

“The seventy=two disciples

RETURNED REJOICING…….”                                                                                              Luke 10:17

 

Can’t you just

FEEL the excitement

In the lives=of the DISCIPLES?

 

They return from

THEIR MISSION=and can’t wait

To SHARE their experiences

With Jesus=their master

They are like LITTLE CHILDREN

 

They can’t wait=to tell him

ALL the marvelous things

That they were able to do

IN HIS NAME

 

And I CAN’T WAIT

To write to you all

Every day=to tell you

HOW MUCH=God loves you and me

JOY IN=GOD’S LOVE

 

“Then I will go

To the altar of God=to God

MY JOY and delight

 

I will praise you

With the lyre

O God=my God”                                                                                                                    Psalm 43:4

 

“SHOUT FOR JOY=to God

All the earth”                                                                                                                                Psalm 66:1

 

“The prospect of the righteous

IS JOY=but the hopes=of the wicked

Come to nothing”                                                                                                                         Proverbs 10:28

 

But Jesus wants=THEIR ENTHUSIAM

To be rooted=in something deeper

Than their preaching=as he does us

 

He wants them and us=TO REALIZE

That we should be happy and excited

But there is something better

“YOUR NAMES=are written in heaven”                                                                                    Luke 10:20

JOY IN=GOD’S LOVE

 

“I have told you this

SO THAT MY JOY

 

May be in you=and that YOUR JOY

May be complete”                                                                                                                     John 15:11

 

“Though you=have not seen him

You love him=and even though

 

You do not see him

You believe in him

And are filled

 

With an inexpressible

AND GLORIOUS JOY”                                                                                                            1 Peter 1:8

 

Your JOY

Should NOT be rooted

IN our good deeds=or

In our works

 

But FOUND

In God’s GREAT LOVE=For us

JOY IN=GOD’S LOVE!

For us

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER LOVING and joyful=Holy Father God!
