You are made for eternal joyΒ ππ
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.Β ππ
Isaiah 35:19
How often, though do we live as if the part of our eternal life we are living right now is all there is? We worry about things we cannot control.
We blow problems out of proportion, failing to trust God is powerful enough and wise enough to handle them.
We allow ourselves to be mired in sadness, forgetting Godβs promise to reunite us with our faith family in heaven. We stockpile possessions, relying on them for security, rather than trusting God for it.
We allow anger to consume us, instead of looking to our heavenly Father to mete out justice in His time.
But as redeemed and eternal children of God, we can lay all of that down and pick up the eternal JOY we have in JESUS.Β ππ₯°
Isaiah prophesied that the Lordβs people would come into heaven singing and that everlasting, unending, uninterrupted JOY would be theirs β That is YOUR joy as a child of God.
As a child of God, you were made for JOY β joy on earth and joy in heaven forever.Β πππ
Thank the Father in heaven and your Lord Jesus Christ for creating you for Joy.Β ππ
