Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? Pour a nice
serving for yourself this morning! And as you are pouring…..
Think about all
the times you have poured your heart out to God in prayer. Have you ever been
so touched by God’s goodness that you can’t believe that He gave you such “an
exceedingly, abundantly” wonderful answer to your prayer? When God blesses like this, you may ask,
“Lord, what did I do to deserve your goodness?”
Well, the
answer is: NOTHING! There is NOTHING we
can do that will make God love us any more or any less. According to author and pastor David
Jeremiah, “Let us not forget that our
prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but
because Jesus suffered… The mystery of why God answers prayer is all wrapped up
in the mystery of why He redeemed us; just like the Cross, it points to an
infinite love that is far beyond human explanation.”
In 1 John 3:1 we read: “How great is the love the Father has lavished on
us, that we should be called children of God!”
It is
because of that great love that we can ask, seek and knock on the door of God’s
heart today;
Bask in His love…and feel the warmth of His
JOYful embrace that you have never had to “earn”, but He gives freely to each
of us.
