We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— this life was revealed, and we have seen it and testify to it, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us— we declare to you what we have seen and heard so that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. We are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. (1 John 1:1-4, NRSV)
What is joy? And beyond that what is complete joy?
Is it not having any problems or worries? Because that doesn’t exist.
Is it being happy all the time? Well, life will always give you a reason to be down if you let it, and happiness is really a choice.
Complete joy is knowing the love of the lord is something God gives to you freely because He wants to. Not because you earned it, or deserve it, but because He wants to be in a relationship with you.
God gives us life eternally with Him because he wants to and that my friends is joy.
Do you know this joy?
