The Joy that Jesus Had

As you should all know, on Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day. So Happy Father’s Day for Sunday all the dads out there reading this!!! We hope you had an extra special day. Simon took the opportunity on this day that we remember fathers to talk about our Father in Heaven!

‘The Joy that Jesus Had’ was the title of his message and he spoke about the difference between happiness and joy and how people mix these two up all the time. I sure do! The Lord is our strength and when we begin to understand this, that’s when true joy will come

Also you will find true joy when you know what you are doing with your life is the will of the Father. Take the time this week to talk to God about what you are doing and make sure it’s his will for you. Sometimes we don’t always enjoy the work we are doing but if it’s God’s will than you will find His joy. Remember Jesus died on the cross for the Father’s will. I don’t image that would have been enjoyable!

Do you look up to your father as a role model, a hero or a protector? Well just remember that this is exactly what our Father in Heaven is as well. Without Him, we can do nothing!

It was also a great blessing for Jeffrey and I to be able to get up in church to sing a song we sang at his Mum's birthday party. The song is called Your Grace Still Amazes Me. A gorgeous song that you most definately should listen to on youtube. I hope His grace still amazes you. Have a wonderful week!
