Focus on this: God wants our joy to be full. We protest, "But I am in pain, I don’t have a job, I have family problems, I don’t even like myself." We wonder why God is letting us go through the problems we have; or we feel guilty, because we never feel good enough.
Quiet your heart.
Listen.
And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. (1John 1:4 NKJV)
As I read this verse, my heart quiets and my head quits trying to figure out why things aren’t whatever “vision of perfect” I think my life should be. I rest.
Prayer: Father-God thank you for the peace that floods my soul when I stay in Your word. Thank you that You want us to have JOY. Bless the readers of this devotion. May they know the assurance that You care about them and love them. May they have JOY. In Jesus precious name, I pray. Amen.
And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. (1John 1:4 NKJV)
As I read this verse, my heart quiets and my head quits trying to figure out why things aren’t whatever “vision of perfect” I think my life should be. I rest.
Our next devotion is going to touch on the things that have been written to us in 1 John 1-3.
