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.
