Joy in the LORD always
Joy is not merely fun and laughter
Joy is not self-indulgent pleasure;
Something easily eradicated when circumstance changes
Joy in the LORD is our strength and hope forever;
Independent of circumstances.
True JOY is the fruit of the Holy Spirit
It is the exultation of mind, emotion and soul;
Joy is not a worldly platitude,
But it is a feeling of exhilaration, infused with praise and gratitude,
For the Loving Saviour, Incarnate Man, who died for our sins
So we can be blessed with life eternal.
.
Joy in the LORD brings contentment
Trust in the LORD to work all things for our good;
He gives us the peace that surpasses understanding
HE is with us through all circumstances, not-withstanding;
In times of poverty or wealth
In sickness or health;
There is no restlessness,
Nothing can separate us from HIS loving-kindness,
Nor HIS generous compassion and forgiveness.
Rejoice in the LORD always
There is no better or greater companion
In life’s journey than the LORD?
Who can be more magnanimous and trustworthy ?
Joy in the LORD brings serenity;
GOD watches over us ceaselessly,
Like a strong,loving FATHER,
And a kind, nurturing MOTHER;
Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent
Rejoice ,rejoice for the LORD is with us always.
