A Future Filled with Joy

Psalm 90:14

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

There is nothing on this earth that satisfies like the love of Our Heavenly Father.  He created a void in our hearts that can only be filled by the presence of Jesus in our lives.  When we allow Jesus to be our sustenance, there is nothing that the world can offer that measures up.

Living under the fountain of life that is Jesus Christ is to have a future filled with joy.  It is to have sufficient balance against all of our griefs and sorrows.  It is the enlightenment that steers us away from wasting our precious time pursuing the things of this earth.  It is the light that produces good works in us.  It is what prepares us for our inheritance in the kingdom of Our Lord.

Unfortunately, too often we chase every type of earthly pleasure in efforts to fill the void in our hearts.  We choose to live in darkness instead of in the light of the One who loves us perfectly.  May our eyes be opened so that we see what Our Savior has set aside for us.  May our hearts be prepared to receive all that Jesus holds for us.  The fullness of our joy will never be reached until we turn to Our Savior for completion.  He, and He alone, is the one who satisfies every desire of our hearts.

Let us satisfy ourselves in the wondrous presence of Our Savior.  Let us rejoice in His perfect love and forgiveness.  Let us show the world our joy.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your unfailing love.  We rejoice in the joy in our hearts that You have provided by allowing us to receive Your Son, Jesus.  We pray, Lord, that the Holy Spirit will inspire us to fill our days with the sweet presence of Our Savior and that the Holy Spirit will provide us with the wisdom to turn away from the offerings of this world.  We ask, Father, that as we receive all that has been set aside of us that the world will be drawn to Your Son by our joyful countenance.  We ask all these things in the name of the Joy of the World, Jesus Christ.
