After much delay, I’m BACK in the blog world!
Tonight I had the wonderful opportunity to teach young youth leaders and there was one word: JOY!
1 Peter 1:8 says “Though you have not seen Him, you love Him and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you GLADLY REJOICE with JOY inexpressible and FULL of GLORY.”
There is an intoxicating JOY found in the presence of God and in His love. Jesus had the oil of JOY without measure. God is a God of celebration. He is GOOD and wants you to be happy! There are no tears, gloom or depression in Heaven. ”Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.”
Psalma 16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of LIFE; in your presence there is FULLNESS of JOY; at your right hand are PLEASURES FOREVERMORE.”
There are waaaaaayy too many verses to quote and thoughts to write right now. I feel like I could write a book! I just wanted to give you a bit of what’s going on in my heart. You can dive deeper into the presence of God and find this JOY! It’s right at your finger tips! Hangout with the Author of JOY, fun, party and celebration. Let your cup overflow with His goodness. His JOY is inexpressible and FULL OF GLORY!! As we are filled with His JOY (our strength) inexpressible, we will be FULL of His GLORY and be a walking encounter for all we come into contact with. Be filled with love in His presence. Be filled with JOY! Release His glory in the earth. Then we will RE-present Jesus to everyone around us!
Much Love!!!!
