Christ In You . . . JOY in the Journey

I’ve been feeling a bit low lately, and I don’t know why. You too? No matter, our Abba Father God loves us anyway, no matter how we feel . . . no matter how depressed, no matter how dark, no matter how ugly.

And so I prayed this morning,

Good morning, LORD

I’m feeling low this morning, and I don’t know why, Lord. But I trust You to be the Joy and the Strength of my fluctuating soul.

I will rejoice in You because You have given me one more day, one more breath to love You and to be loved by You and to let You love through me all those “important to You” people who come my way today.

Pour out Your Joy-filled Spirit upon me afresh, O God, in the name of Your glorious Son who abides in me. Amen.

As the morning wore on, I remembered my “joy in January” series from previous years. So here we go again. May our hearts be moved to rejoice in our God who lives within.

Let’s JOY in our Journey together.

Brothers & sisters, are you amazed, as am I?

Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory. (Colossians 1:27 NLT)

The Lord Jesus Christ in you! The Lord Jesus Christ in me! What glory right here...right now!

The Sovereign Creator of the Universe lives in each of His children! His life courses through our spiritual veins!  What glory for this life as well as the life to come!

And not only that, His Indwelling Life is greater than anyone or anything else in all creation.

And so this week in the midst of what could be a long winter, let's celebrate and enjoy the joy of the One who is Greater by far!

...he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4 ESV)

May I suggest this awesome song?  Rejoice...He is Greater!
