JOY
Thank you Father for the sheer joy of being able to call you Father.
A joy that is unspeakable and full of glory.
We thank you Lord for the joy that we experience as we delight in the majesty of your handwork. It was you and you alone who crafted the sun, moon and stars into a celestial masterpiece. Thank you for the joy that we take in a baby's smile, a bird's chirping and the completion of a difficult task. Forgive us Master for the times we have neglected to say thank you for the joy that Jesus brings into our lives, lives that would be mundane but because of Him each day brings new mercies that herald miraculous expectations.
On this day let us strive to share the joy of knowing and loving Jesus with all we meet. Once we have been with Jesus there should be a joy that emanates from our spirits that sets us apart from the unsaved. God make us joy givers. When we enter the presence of your children equip us to sow and cultivate a harvest of joyous bounty. Help us to lighten and brighten the days of our brothers and sisters who are going through trials and tribulations. We thank you God for who you are and we continue to marvel at your unending favor on our lives. We pray that through the storms you send your joy. In the stresses of a chaotic world you send joy. Help us to remember the world didn't give it and the world can't take away our joy. You are and always will be the center of our JOY!! ~ AMEN
