Overwhelming Joy!


Romans chapter 15 verses 1 and 2.
"Even if we believe that is makes no difference to the Lord whether we do these things, still we cannot just go ahead and do them to please ourselves; for we must bear the "burden" of being considerate of the doubts and fears of others---of those who feel these things are wrong. Let's please the other fellow, not ourselves, and do what is for his good and thus build him up in the Lord."

As a Christian who lives in God's presence, you know the wonderful joy you feel all the time. Happiness and peace beyond whatever you could have imagined before coming to Jesus. And right from the moment God entered your life you have realized the difference from life with Him and without Him. Just like the bible says you are now living in His Light and no longer in the darkness.
   Do you remember how excited you felt when God's Holy Spirit came upon you? It is absolutely amazing that the same feeling is still with you each day and will be forever. Now we go about each day living as we always have but the difference is, God is with us. We are not arrogant or pushy about our new life but live by example of loving others just as God loves us.
   God blesses us with patience and wisdom so that He is seen through the things we do. He sets us up to have the right words to speak when the time is right for us to talk about Jesus. We are God's children and He reflects through us so that others know we are different.
   Be humble around others, do your own work and be interested in what they are thinking. Support others in their ideas even if they are totally bizarre to you. There is a wonderful joy in your heart that reflects in your attitude and smile. It can be the one thing you find the most so hardest to hold in. All you want is for everyone to know the love and grace of God.
   But you have learned that you need to be humble. It does no one any good to push someone towards something they may not want to have any part of. When you get along, then you are setting yourself up for sharing Jesus. Jesus is not some strange thing that will hurt others, but He is a beautiful way of life that promises hope for an eternal life.
   Lots of people do not understand the teachings of Jesus and the promises of God, but you do and you have found a wonderful peace, that you pray to God for everyone to know about, through your actions as His child. The exciting thing about your new life is the joy you have for His love in your life.
   Share your love with others and represent Jesus with kindness. Others will respect you and who knows maybe someone will want you to pray for them.
   Thank you Father for life with You. Thank you for Jesus and Your Holy Spirit. 😊
