Beloved–
I asked, “how are you? A recent university graduate responded, “I’m fine as long as I don’t sit down.” A young mother responded, “I’m getting along, just need more time in my day.” When I was asked I said, “I’m fine under the circumstances.” Yet, all three of us live with the knowledge, that despite our sinful rebellious condition, God our father loved us so much that he sacrificed his only beloved son on the cross so that we also have become beloved. Our circumstances should be a reason for joy!
[from dictionary.com] JOY: the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; REJOICE: to be glad; take delight (often followed by in). [from His own word] Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! (Psm 34:8) Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! (Phil 4:4)
I pray for you daily to have joy and rejoice in the Father’s overwhelming love for you.
Luv Ya!
