FULL OF JOY

           The Christian life that is joyless is a discredit to God and a disgrace to itself. -Babcock

1 John 1:4, And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

            Several years ago, while on a mission’s trip, I heard of a story how a woman would walk 8 miles just to come to church. She would get to the church late each week but she still came. She would often hang around all day for the second service. Why did she sacrifice so much; because she wanted to hear more about Jesus! She knew hearing about Him would make her joy full!

            Friend, are you neglecting the House of God? Don’t you think it’s important? Why sacrifice so little when God has given so much?          

            Black said, “I have found that there is a tremendous joy in giving.  It is a very important part of the joy of living.” Joy in giving of our time, talents, and treasures! Don’t forsake time with the Lord friend! You will never become who God wants you to be until you follow His will for your life!
