You Are The Joy Of My World

 Isaiah 52:9
 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

Knowing Joy 

We all have a different life.  We have a world in this world and that world is the world of people we know, places we go, the place we live and what we allow in our lives. Christ is part of my world and He has given me joy.  I can't say that I'm always joyful, but Christ has taught me to be joyful.  Praising the Lord and meditating upon His Word is a way to restore joy each day. Without him is emptiness like a desert place that never knew joy or can truly know it.  Making Christ the most valuable part of our world comes first by accepting his gift of salvation, which he offers to every man, woman and child.  Maintaining joy comes through a faithful life of meditation upon His Word, faith, singing, praising, thanksgiving and prayer. Keeping a clear con·science before God is also very important in maintaining joy.  We can not continue in sin and continue in the joy of the Lord.
God resists the proud who will not humble himself and turn from sin, but he draws nigh to the humble one, who repents and turns from his sin. Maintaining a good relationship with Christ will enable us to know and live a joyful life.  Though life has sorrows and troubles, like Paul and Silas who were thrown in a cold dark prison, we too can find joy through our problems.

An Easter Thanksgiving

An Easter Thanksgiving

Every day is Thanksgiving when we are a child of God. 

We have every reason to praise Him, if we believe. 

Pray and love Him each day, we should give Him glory, give Him praise;

No matter if it's Easter or if it's Christmas Eve.

Let us thank the Lord, in one accord, this Resurrection Day; 

Jesus  has loved us more than we have ever been loved before;

Our Lord was torn ,was mocked ,was scorned and died for our sin.

He arose that bright morning never to die again.

Thank-you Jesus for giving your  life as a perfect sacrifice;

We praise your name, you overcame the powers of hell.

 You lit our dark hearts with life and gave us hope forevermore;

You fill our hearts with hopes and dreams, that will never fail.

Thank-you for the arising sun, that speaks of all that you have done;

And each blooming flower that returns from winter's grave.

Thank-you for your blessed Word,  through which you speak and in us stir;

By your grace, the believing , claim your name and are saved.

Every day is Thanksgiving when we  are a child of God. 

We have every reason to praise Him, if we believe. 

Pray and love Him each day, we should give Him glory, give Him praise;

No matter if it's Easter or if it's Christmas Eve.

Chorus:

Every day is Thanksgiving when we love Jesus.

We should praise Him and love Him each day;

This we know, His joy is aglow, in every thankful  heart.

For in believing,  we have our own resurrection day.
