You are His joy
Hebrews 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross...
Oh how I can take up residence here for a lifetime. Jesus endured the cross. Im required to ask WHY? And the singular answer is because of me, as well as all humanity, who will receive this great love. I discover, its not the cross He loved, its the joy set before Him, us! You, me, we are His joy and delight. This sunday, we begin Philippians, one of the most joyous books in all the bible. The exact display of what it means to live a christian, full of joy. Only by and through Jesus Christ our Lord. Its only when I understand how valuable & loved I am by Jesus, then can I truly desire to walk in His joy. Oh how valued I am that He would endure the cross because of me!
