The Joy of the Lord


John 15:11 "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."
Christianity is a joyful life when one is continuously being filled with the Holy Spirit. The days on earth are full with all their pleasant breezes. The sunshine seems to warm your heart more than ever before. The love you have for your spouse has grown deeper, and the moments you have together are sweeter than the day before. All of your friends become more important than the details of life. You are happy and content in the middle of all the seemly uproars in the world. You think on whatsoever is lovely, and you speak about the joy of the Lord. Heaven is a place of great joy, as you think of the streets of gold and the Son Light that always fills your soul and spirit. The spirit of joy multiplies time and again within your being. You are looking unto Jesus Christ as you live in the Finished Work. You praise him again and again as joy overflows your heart. You see through the eyes of our Saviour the beauty of the setting sun. You are so overwhelmed within His presence and how He has taken care of you that you burst out with joy; thanking Him for removing the dirty spirit of negativity and replacing it with the joy of the Lord.
The spirit of joy is wonderful. It relaxes your whole being, so at night you can sleep in the everlasting arms of Jesus and awake the next morning in his joy.
