Today’s Scripture: Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. Luke 2:10 NKJ
I can not contain this great joy. I do not understand what God is doing with me through this second chapter of Luke but like Anna in verse 37, I can not depart.
I am filled with joy that I hope to share with those who are seeking. In trying to explain this passion, this joy, yesterday with a co-worker I can see in this chapter so many things I am trying to say.
The more I seek to be who He created the more I find joy.
Like the angel to the shepherds, I have great news for all people. This joy found in God is like no other. I can not contain it and I must share it. His light is caressing and His joy is full.
Can you share what brings you joy to those who seek? Are you struggling to find joy? I will be glad to share what He has given me.
Today’s Prayer: God of joy, I praise You and thank You. Help me to share with those who seek salvation. Help me to share Your joy. LORD, continue to strengthen my spirit and fill me with Your wisdom so I become who You intended. I want to fulfill Your promise faithfully. Amen

Good news must never and can never be kept silent or to ourselves. We have the best news in the whole world.
Thanks for stopping by Bill, I find it much easier what I have myself experienced. I can not keep silent with what He as shown to me. Sharing our lives and personal relationship with Him is powerful and brings to life the Good News!
“The more I seek to be who He created the more I find joy.”
This is the key right here! Even with my struggles if I remember this line, the joy starts. Yes, some days it’s easier and others not.
Seeing that sentence and knowing it to be true – that is what brings me joy.
Thanks, Tom, for a joy-filled beginning to the day… one in which I will not stop seeking to be who He created me to be, even if it means reminding myself again and again.
Thanks Katy! No doubt as we seek and praise Him above all else He will reveal who He created us to me. Praise to our creator, our LORD, and our Savior! Again and again!!
