| Joy |

27:13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! I am so glad that I do not have to wait until I get to heaven to have abundant life! I will see "goodness" now. I will experience joy now. Living in the world is not all about sorrow, pain, and tribulation. There is a sweetness and joy that comes from serving and being KNOWN by Jesus. We must witness with our lives that Jesus is our joy if we are to reach people for the kingdom. Who would want to be a Christain if all we talk about are our storms and desert experiences? We must remember that Jesus promised that we would prosper, that we are the head and not the tail. God said we would be blessed when we come and when we go. Indeed, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. Friends of God, let us live our lives flavored with joy, so that someone might yearn for Jesus, who is the CENTER of joy! |

| Why wait until we are dead to enjoy all that God has given us. Remember our Lord's prayer? "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." We can have heaven on earth, it is called the kingdom of God, where Jesus rules and regins! Great word! |

To God be the Glory Rev. Wright and good word. 5:3 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
