"He longs to bring us to the fullness of joy."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 40)
Christ longs to bring us to complete and utter joy, and His will is that we be absolutely the happiest we could possibly be. His kingdom is all about joy and bliss, because He that is pure joy and bliss is reigning over all. And we are in His kingdom already. It is already here, right now, right in the midst of our earthly lives. And there's one great thing about Him that can make us so truly happy - with Him our sin is never mentioned, because it is truly gone! He has no negative messages or rebukes for us. We are just endlessly celebrated as pure, wonderful children of the King! We are in the domain of joy, overcoming, laughter, and bliss. We are in the presence of Pure Happiness Himself, where there are hugs and kisses, smiles and happily ever after. Here we are all kids, running and playing so freely and lightly, without a care in the world. He is contagious joy. His merry look of love, the laughter in His voice, the lightness in His step is so contagious that it makes us relax and feel light, too. We can be sure that there is joy and more joy coming. His will is for us to be a happy as possible and He will bring that to pass!
"Joy is your constant! Your union with the Lord is your permanent source of delight."
Philippians 4:4 (MIRROR)
A Prayer: You make my heart feel light again!
