Joy and sorrow are the ever-present
companions in the life of one that belongs to the Lord of Hosts.
Sweet joy is found in knowing Him
and the love that He demonstrates to us – and we are allowed to participate in
as we pour ourselves out for others in His Name.
Painful sorrow also is knowing that
so devoted was His love for us that it drove Him to the cross and led Him to
bear what we could not.
For the desire to save us was an all
consuming love.
Our hearts can rest in the knowledge
that in His humanness He understands what we are made of and how frail these
temples in which we abide.
But great comfort is found in
knowing that His Holy place in the Trinity provides more strength than ever
could be needed for our protection.
That He has no lack and spares
naught for us.
And none could ever remove us from
His tender grasp.
God in the Godhead, Son of the Most
High, King and Sovereign Lord, Almighty in love and strength bent to one
purpose which is to have us and keep us for Himself.
What infinite joy to know that we
are His.
How precious the sorrow of what He
bore for us.
So that we who know His voice could
run to Him in all things, for food, sustenance, protection, understanding,
love, and life.
And so then, we gladly share in His
joy and sorrow for His Names sake.
What a marvel to be considered His
own.
How then can we not serve Him?
For what other can we give to Him
but our all.
