Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? When we sense God’s presence as we are praying, our
hearts are filled with peace and joy.
Think about all the times you have
poured your heart out to God in prayer. Sometimes we’re not sure what God’s
doing in our lives. But there are other
times when we feel His love being LAVISHED on us. 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, we may ask, “Lord, what did I do to deserve
this?”
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.”
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 is
given freely to each of us.
Count you many unearned blessings of joy
and praise the Lord for His goodness and generosity.
