The Joy Of The Lord Is Our Strength

Happy is that people whose God is the Lord! We serve the Lord Christ, not ourselves, God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.  Ask and it shall be given you, that Jesus's joy might remain in you and that your joy might be full.  Jesus bore our griefs and carried our sorrows. But we did not notice all that Jesus did for us, to have abundant life. You now have sorrow, but you shall see Jesus again and your heart will rejoice and your joy no man take from you.  The joy of the Lord is our strength, joy is one of the fruits of the spirit, We love God because he first loved us. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, the first and important commandment. But God loved us first.
