Me: Why did your friend leave?
Prodigal: I told him his roof leaks even when it ain’t rainin’.
Me: Maybe we should show some love.
This is from the book Believe and Rejoice by Dr. James P. Gills, M.D.
We cannot have joy without love. It is like two people in love–joy springs up and fills them when they have an unconditional love for each other. That is the joy that should be our response to Christ–someone who loves us far more than anyone else ever could.
We may think we are not loved but that is not true. Christ always loves us more than anyone and it doesn’t not matter about our performance today. How could you show that joy today if someone ask about your relationship with Christ.
Psalm 119:57
Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
