“You Have Filled My Heart With Greater Joy” Psalm 4:7

True joy is so much more than “happy thoughts”. “Happy thoughts” won’t sustain you in the long run. True joy is always the fruit of refinement. How powerful that our Savior (our very demonstration of love!) allowed Himself to be broken to give us an example of leaving in-not running from pain.He knew what we always need to know-pain comes before the deep peace of joy.Would we recognize “greater joy” if it came easier? Could we understand greater joy without greater pain? Probably not.The pattern was set by Jesus-cross before crown. Both valued, both transformative, both available. May we ask God for just for small happiness but for greater joy!

Be a Vessel

Happy?

How about a new strategy?

COME TO JESUS.  BE A VESSEL.

 Ask forgiveness. Be wise dealing with temptation.  

Yet, know that Jesus has more than just this!

I Timothy 2:20-21 “Now in a large house, there are not only GOLD and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if any man cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for HONOR, sanctified, USEFUL to the Master, prepared for every good work.”

This text  teaches us to cleanse ourselves and pursue God. He alone has power to cultivate these qualities in us! 

We can be gold vessels because we are Christ’s.  We can be vessels of honor because He gives us Himself. We can be useful because He gives us lives of purpose.  

IT’S THE HANDS THAT HOLD THE VESSEL THAT MAKE IT SPECIAL!

So it is with us. 

JESUS ALWAYS GIVES US SURPASSING VALUE.
