Christ's Fullness Of Joy

What comfort and strength has poured forth from the book of Psalms into the hearts of so many believers, down through centuries of time. The love and devotion that spills out from this beautiful verse, in Psalm 16, warms the heart of all weary wanderers.
 The  blessed hope that is set before us, gives each of us an abundance of those same eternal pleasures. Assuredly, this is a truth that must rejoice the heart of all God's children - a truth that each one of us can treasure in our hearts and rejoice with singing, as we look for our blessed hope and journey towards our heavenly home.
 Christ's Fullness Of Joy is not simply contained in a future hope, but is firmly established in this present time. The fullness of God is a truth that is embedded in so many of our Father's precious promises.
 Sorrow may well be our lot in this life, for we have been told that in this world we will suffer trials and difficulties, but we must be of good cheer, we have His indwelling Holy Spirit... and as we focus our hearts and minds on our risen Savior, we receive His fullness of joy, love, and His peace - not only in the world to come, but every day of our earthly life.
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for Your great goodness towards us, and the many blessings that You shower on each one of us day by day. Be with us each step of the way, and help us to keep our eyes on the Lord Jesus. We thank You that we have been given everything we need for life and godliness, and pray that we may experience the fullness of joy we have all received in Christ, not only in the world to come, but as a daily experience in this present world. Thank You, Father, that You have made known to us the path of life in Christ Jesus our Savior, in Whose name we pray, and thank You that in Your presence is the fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore, AMEN.
