00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:13.199
<v SPEAKER_00>The mercies of God are new every day for everyone, including you, even when you feel disqualified.

00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:19.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Let's pause today and take a moment to honor and thank Jesus for the way he loves us.

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Let's take a moment and invite him in today.

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.120
<v SPEAKER_00>God is not fleeting.

00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:26.800
<v SPEAKER_00>He is eternal.

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.679
<v SPEAKER_00>This is a concept that is nearly impossible for mankind to grasp.

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.880
<v SPEAKER_00>It is a part of the beautiful mystery of God.

00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.719
<v SPEAKER_00>It makes his love for us that much more incredible.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.960
<v SPEAKER_00>It remains without end.

00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:52.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Just as he is eternal, Jesus offered us joy that lasts, joy that remains even when seasons are hard, and abiding in him keeps joy alive.

00:00:53.439 --> 00:01:02.240
<v SPEAKER_00>John 15, 11 says, I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:09.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Take 20 seconds to thank Jesus for sharing his joy with you, a joy that remains.

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask him to reveal the joy that he has in store for you.

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:43.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Or better yet, ask him to show you the joy he feels when he thinks about you, his son or daughter.

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.319
<v SPEAKER_00>This is the example of true joy.

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.560
<v SPEAKER_00>This joy is found in him.

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask Jesus to help you abide in him today.

00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Stay connected to his presence and his joy.

00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:43.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
