Are we truly joyful?

Are we truly joyful?

14/9/2016

Why are there so many who are miserable?

Even the Children of God, do not smile.

Are we truly joyful?

Where does this True Joy come from?

Do we really know?

Are we truly embracing this Life of Joy?

The Joy is in Our Lord.

The Joy of Our Lord is what we need in our lives.

We must abide in Him. Then, we will abide in His Joy, for we will be abiding in His Love, because God is Love.

John 15:4-11 NKJV
4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

It is not about striving in our own efforts to produce fruit, but about abiding in Jesus, and when we do so, fruit will bear.

When we abide in Him, we will be living in His Kingdom, even here on earth.

Just as we always pray, as Our Lord has taught us, Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Matthew 6:9-10 NKJV
9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.

We must be in His Righteousness. Then, we will have Peace and Joy.

Romans 14:17 NKJV
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:19 NKJV
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

Let us rejoice for we have received the Righteousness of Our Lord Jesus Christ, becoming the Children of God, living in the Kingdom, in peace and joy, and abundant overflowing Grace and Love of Our Lord God Almighty, Abba, Father God.

Thank You, Lord, for loving us. We love you.

1 John 3:1 NKJV
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
