The joy of sharing Christ

[soldier of light]

I love to talk about the Lord. I have some battles but I have peace love and joy as well. If I was a giffted poet i would write beautiful things about the Lord. I would talk about his mercy and love. I would talk about how real he is to me. If only I could dive onto a river of his love. If only I didn't need to fight against an affliction.

I dont understand why but I fight because I have no choice. Perhaps God has walled me in so to speak. I'm forced to walk by faith and not sight. I fight through the fear of anxiety attacks and voices in my mind. As for sin that's easy to battle against I think. It's this affliction that's so hard.

Sometimes i feel like a kid

 

[soldier of light]

Even in sorrow I can rejoice
I wait to hear your tender voice

You will give me joy and gladness
You will chase away all my sadness.

O Lord, how I love you
You make every day brand new

 

[soldier of light]

O what joyful bliss
how pleasant is a holy kiss.

 

[soldier of light]

Joy, joy, joy. Down in my heart.

Growing . . .

Then knowing.

Paul had his "thorn in the flesh" stuff > 2 Corinthians 12:7-15.

And Jesus said >

"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." (in 2 Corinthians 12:9)

And then Paul in God's grace took "pleasure" (2 Corinthians 12:10) in his troubles. In God's grace we can share with Jesus, taking pleasure in Jesus who is so perfectly pleasing to our Father.

And in God's unconditional and all-loving love we share with Him in His own goodness and pleasant rest so we take pleasure in loving as family while also caring for any and all evil people.

In my case I seem to be growing in the knowledge that Paul shared. When people hurt me I run to Jesus and he loves me. That sounds childish I guess but it's what I do.

Jesus is the One who knows what to do with us. But yes God includes us and circumstances in blessing and helping us. So, test everything for the good God desires for us and for others >

"Test all things; hold fast what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

Jesus be our light today
In your light we sing and pray
