Joy

Prayer of Joy

Joy is the messanger, dear Lord, that bears our prayers to Thee.

Prayer can be like incense, rising ever higher and higher, or it can be like a low earth-mist clinging to the ground, never once soaring.

The Eye that sees all, the Ear that hears all, know every cry.

But the prayer of real faith is the prayer of Joy, that sees and knows the heart of Love it rises to greet, and that is so sure of a glad response.

You Are My Joy

" Thine they were, and thou gavest them me;

and they have kept they word."

John 17:6

Remember, that just as you thank God for Me, so I thank God for His Gift to Me of you. In that hour of My agony on Earth, one note of Joy thrilled through the pain. The thought of the souls, given Me by My Father who had kept My Word.

They had not then done great deeds, as they did later, for, and in, My Name. They were simple doers of My Word, not hearers only. Just in their daily tasks and ways they kept my Word.

You, too, can bring Joy to My Heart by faithful service. Faithful service in the little things.

Be faithful.

Do your simple tasks for Me.

- "God Calling" by A. J. Russell
