JOY unspeakable

Nice Saturday morning in Beijing city. On the 37th Floor of my apartment, I was awakened this morning just feeling joyous!

Spent time with my Lord. I could feel His presence all over again and that is so wonderful & amazing. Countless days as i looked back, i thank God profusely for many things. Over and over again...Josh says I am a person that looks back all the time, i like reminiscing good old time for some reason. I am made this way and I like it this way. This is the day that the Lord has made & I will rejoice and be glad in it. As I read Joyce Meyer's book the joy of the Lord...i was immensely blessed. Thanks Gina for the book - eternally grateful ! It is the best book i've read in the last 2 yrs. So many truths, so many applications awaiting me to be a person of the word but boy! hard as it is....it is really something I should do - TO have the joy of the Lord. Joy ain't a result of material possession & acquiring more. Joy is an inward attitude. Joy is an outward expression as a result of how the Lord has blessed, endowed & poured His love upon our lives & mine. It is so amazing just sitting here to thank Him for this priviledge that He has graciously given to me....Unbelievable!

Let me illustrate...my beloved & favourite husband....Favourite = 1. There is no 2 "favourites" & 2 "best". It is ridiculous when people go about claiming "This is my favourite & that too..." Anyhow, I love my husband with all my heart. He is my only 1 & he is the BEST! Wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. So i have A Favourite husband...anyhow, back to the illustration of Joy. Josh bought me my dream Tag Heuer watch yesterday ....unexpectedly. He is wonderful with surprises! He bought me this watch just minutes before us running into the movies for Superman. I thought it was just browsing but he bought it! He is one sweet man. I was blown away. Sure! I was happy to own a brand new dream watch but I am filled with JOY because I know God has blessed me. Not with this watch but with this man who loves me wholeheartedly & unconditionally in many many ways. That is Joy. That knowing, that connection, that amazing relationship which the Lord blessed me after 3 yrs of waiting, seeking, putting Him first and everything else aside tells me one thing - those who trust in the Lord will never be put to shame. Always.

The Joy of the Lord is my Strength. He is my Help in time of Need.

I love the Lord regardless the season of time. HE is faithful when I am faithless. His amazing love makes me speechless. I am awed by Him......all the time. It is a previledged relationship ...just me & my Lord. He is good.
