Joyful Joyful we adore Him.

Grace and peace to you my friends,


" Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations."
Psalms 100 ESV

Christmas, what better time of year to dwell on the idea of joy. Friends, Christ has not invited us to a relationship of hardship, pain and frustration. All throughout the Bible we are commanded to be joyful, to seek it and to share it. Fellowship with our all sufficient savior can only result in a life filled and flowing with joy.

Joy in God and all that He is for us in Christ Jesus is great measure of our faith. The closer we grow to our savior, the more reason we have to be full of joy. The stronger and deeper our faith and hope in His Word, the more reason we have to be full of joy.

My friends, how is your joy? Is it full, then praise God for His faithfulness. Is it lacking, then praise God for His mercy and grace because His arms are always open inviting us to grow closer to Him.

BE JOYFUL MY FRIENDS AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

For the Joy of your Faith.
