The Savior’s J-O-Y!

“I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” John 15:11. I know you heard it before that the joy of the Lord is your strength. The JOY of the Lord has made you strong when you are weak; He has made you rich when you are poor; He has made you see when you are blind, and He has brought you peace of mind when you are anxious.

When you consider all that the Savior has done for you, does for you and will do for you, it passed all understanding and continue to be marvelous in your sight. I am sure that, all that the Savior has done for you, you cannot tell it all. The Savior J-O-Y has turned your mourning into dancing; He has loosed your sackcloth and clothed you with gladness.

David said in the book of Psalm 40:5 “God, you have made many beautiful things, and you have planned marvelous things for us. No one is like you! I would never be able to tell all you have done.” Likewise,

A songwriter Theodore R. Frye wrote;

o He’s done so much for me,
I cannot tell it all,
o He washed my sins away;
I cannot tell it all,
o He walks and talks with me;
I cannot tell it all,
o He gave me the victory;
I cannot tell it all.

The joy of the Savior has done so much to the extent that we cannot tell it all. Jesus wants to see you happy and joyful. “The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.” John 3:29

PRAYER:
Thank God for the Joy He purchased with the blood of Jesus.
