Good
Morning!
In the last encouragement,
I said I would be talking about how to get to the "source" of your
JOY. It really is just as simple as getting to the source of your water,
which is going to your "water faucet" and turning it on . . .
remember? Well, in order to get to the source of your JOY . . . you are
going to have to turn on your "faith faucet"! It takes
"faith" to enter in to the presence of God, and that is where you
will find your JOY!
How
do we enter in to the presence of God? The same way that you enter in to
the presence of any one else that is in the same room with you. You go to that
person and begin to have a conversation with them, right? This lets that
person know that you have acknowledged the fact that they are present.
Well . . . The Lord is always present wherever we are, even if we don't
"feel" His presence. Your "feelings" will never
change the "truth" of God's Word! Whatever God said He would
do . . . He will do it! He said if we would draw nigh to Him, He
would draw nigh to us (James 4:8). That word "nigh" just
simply means "near to" or "close to", like in wanting
to have a conversation with Him! OH, precious ones, are you getting
this? It has nothing to do with our feelings. It has
everything to do with our "faith"!
Do you
really "believe" that He is present with you at all times, and
that He wants you to talk to Him? If you truly believe His Word
concerning this, then that is called "faith". Faith will
always override "feelings"!
I will be talking about
"other" ways that will help you enter in to His presence, and I
will be sharing with you some things that will help you to "abide"
in His presence so that you can have a continual, ongoing conversation with
Him 24/7 . . . "that" is what brings "fullness of Joy"!
Have
a Blessed Weekend!! (In His presence is fullness of JOY) In
His Love, Luanne
