John 15:11
“I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.”
-------------------------------------------------------
Various things can make us happy, and most of them are material things. And though it can give us happiness, but that is only temporary. They cannot give is complete and eternal joy. As a child, I wanted to be a doctor. I don’t know if that is what I really wanted or those words were just “put in my mouth” when I was a child. Actually, every child at that time wants to be a doctor.
But as we grow up, we came to choose different paths – different from what our parents want, different from what our hearts dictate, different from what God wants us to be.
But, as we start to know life in the Lord, we start choosing the simple path of love. This is nothing extraordinary. This is our call, our mission, our simple path as humans. To be a gift to one another, a gift of free love. And Who can better model this way of life other than a man who gave His life for His friends – a man named Jesus, our Lord and our Savior.
And He lovingly shared His life to us – a life full of love and sacrifice. Let Him take care of us like no other. Let Him teach us and love us and guide us and protect us like no other.
I pray that Jesus may inspire you all, wherever you are, on your simple path. He taught, lived, and died for and in love. He healed the sick, taught forgiveness and love. And He did all of this, so that we may experience the joy of loving and being loved by God.
Our life is a gift to us. Live a life of pure joy as we continue to praise, worship and love our God.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, because love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Show me how I can make a difference. Help my heart continually beat with love for You and others. Amen +
Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.
