Today’s Scripture: John 16:22 NLT: So, you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.
Two days before Jesus was crucified, He promised this joy to His disciples. His promise of the Spirit of truth that continues to reveal His messages to us gives us a joy this world hates. The ruler and this world will do everything in their power to rob us of our joy. They cannot.
Jesus said in John 16:12 “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now. No Lord, I can not bear any more but I am thankful for the Counselor that continues to reveal You.
Jesus continues to tell us things through the Spirit. When we listen and bear witness of Him, we are filled with joy. We rejoice in You Jesus that You gave Yourself entirely for us so that we also could be entirely God’s. This is a joy that no one or no thing can rob from us.
Have you experienced this joy?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Everything I have is a gift from You. I belong to You and I am filled with joy. I give myself entirely to You God and go into the world as Jesus has sent me. Jesus and Your Holy Spirit continue to reveal You to me. I am overwhelmed in the flesh but accept being one with You in the Spirit. Thank you for this overflowing joy. I love you. Amen
