SPEAKER_00: The mercies of God are new every day for everyone, including you, even when you feel disqualified.
SPEAKER_00: Let's pause today and take a moment to honor and thank Jesus for the way he loves us.
SPEAKER_00: Let's take a moment and invite him in today.
SPEAKER_00: God is not fleeting.
SPEAKER_00: He is eternal.
SPEAKER_00: This is a concept that is nearly impossible for mankind to grasp.
SPEAKER_00: It is a part of the beautiful mystery of God.
SPEAKER_00: It makes his love for us that much more incredible.
SPEAKER_00: It remains without end.
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.
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.
SPEAKER_00: Take 20 seconds to thank Jesus for sharing his joy with you, a joy that remains.
SPEAKER_00: Ask him to reveal the joy that he has in store for you.
SPEAKER_00: Or better yet, ask him to show you the joy he feels when he thinks about you, his son or daughter.
SPEAKER_00: This is the example of true joy.
SPEAKER_00: This joy is found in him.
SPEAKER_00: Ask Jesus to help you abide in him today.
SPEAKER_00: Stay connected to his presence and his joy.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
