Day 14 "You Are Joyful"
Overflowing Joy
Good Morning Beauties!
“For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
Is it difficult to read this scripture and believe Jesus had joy as He went to the cross? It’s hard to imagine, right? But it is true! He looked ahead and thought of spending eternity with you, and that’s where He kept His heart focused.
This same joy Jesus had as He served His Father, He’s given to you as you serve others. What has Jesus asked you to do? What is the purpose only you can fulfill? Where is He asking you to focus as you live in sacrifice and service to others? Thinking back to the passion He placed in your heart, does it still bring you joy and excitement? Is all the sacrifice and hard work worth seeing the vision come to fruition? Selah.
The joy of the Lord is contagious! As you live your life surrendered to God, as your joy is being made complete, others will be drawn to you. The supernatural joy you possess will be a magnet for others who will want to know how they too can be filled with this same joy. To a lost and hurting world that’s looking for hope, you are the bridge to Jesus, the true hope of the world. Will you accept this mission? Selah.
Let’s take a moment to celebrate Jesus and the overwhelming joy it is to know Him. Yes, He’s given us purpose - there is a “doing” we’re called to, but for the next few minutes, just “be” with God and joyfully praise the One who’s given you eternal life, freedom, grace, and peace.
Every Praise - Hezekiah Walker
Love and Blessings,
