Have you had your JOY JUICE today? May I urgently urge you to drink in the JOY
of JESUS with urgency?
There are many things in this life that we
have to approach urgently. One of those is when a new baby is ready to be
birthed into this world. The mommy and
baby need immediate attention and, even when everything is perfectly normal and
healthy, there are still urgent matters which must be attended to!
Jesus even used this analogy in John 16:
21-24. “A woman giving
birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born
she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world……..
Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask
in my name….. Ask
and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.”
Many
of us find ourselves in situations that are painful….physically or emotionally.
Like a mom in labor, we have to bear the pain along with the process. And throughout that painful time, there is a
since of urgency to get through it as quickly as possible! Jesus reminds us in this passage of scripture
that in time, we will forget the depth of the pain, because it will be replaced
with joy. He tells us that we can always
go before the Father and ask IN HIS NAME!
“Ask and you will receive, and your joy
will be complete.” That’s the
urgent message that each of us should pass along to others.
