Joy in January

-
What does it mean to find Joy in the Lord?
A word that speaks of delight, pleasure and gladness...

Ps 149.2
Let Israel find joy in their Creator.
Let the people of Zion rejoice over their King.

Are you at a place where you find joy in the Lord?  Can you honestly say; after you have searched your bones, that you delight in the Lord.  That you are pleased and satisfied with whatever comes your way in the Lord.  That you have never known such a pleasure other than when you are in His Holy presence...?

Have you ever been there? Have you ever experienced Him... His presence. His Holyness. In His fullness, to be able to merely understand the term... find joy in Him.

In Him... In Himself.  In His love.

Or are you only a spectator.  Close, but only observing... others that are in Him.

Jesus wants you friend, to be in Him, To be part of the closer circle. The intimate circle where you will be able to praise His name with singing and dancing, and making music with tambourines and lyres.... because the Lord takes pleasure in His people.!!!

Bible - Truths

And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love. 1John 4:16-18 The Bible says that God is LOVE... And in the same verse it says that there is no fear in love. They are opposites in the Kingdom. If we are operating in fear we are working for the enemy even if we think we are doing something 'righteous'. This would count especially in cases where we care too much what others think of us - if we are fearing people more than we fear God we are people pleasing. Having respect and love for another person is NOT the same as people pleasing and sometimes when we are immature in love we can mistake the two. We need to learn how to have respect and lov...

The Dogwood Tree

Here is a small reminder of what happened on Good Friday long ago. The dogwood was the tree chosen to construct the Cross that would be used to take the body of Jesus. Even though His body may have been taken from this earth, His spirit remains and every spring we are blessed with a reminder of the events that unfolded on that fateful weekend. The blooms often appear in the shape of a Cross with holes in the tips of the pedals signifying the nails that were driven into the Cross. If you look closely at these holes you can notice a faint red stain representing the Blood. In the center you will find a green bloom symbolizing the crown of thorns placed on the head of Jesus. The dogwood is more than a tree…it is a representation of life. With every spring we are reminded of what God did for us and given the chance to be reborn and start a new life as “children of God”. (John 3:1)
