Joy 12

      Root of joy is Love

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

Now remain in my love.

If you obey my commands,

you will remain in my love,

just as I have obeyed my Father's commands

and remain in his love.

I have told you this so that my joy may be

in you and that your joy may be complete.

My command is this:

Love each other as I have loved you.

John 15:9-12 

              ♪.Scripture to mutter daily with 

                  joy and thanksgiving

With a little joy one has enough strength to live.

With complete joy, one's potential activates and

that is astonishing for its fruit at times.

Jesus publically has announced that he loves

people just as God the Father loves him.

It is Jesus' love for people unimaginable

with human mind, the love of God, perfect love,

beautiful and complete strength.

But even this love can be accepted or 

rejected

by one's wilful choice.

If one to choose accepting the love,

there is a condition.

That is one must keep his command, the word.

If one keeps it Jesus said he gives not

a little joy but the joy is complete.

Then, what is the word, the command?

He said "To love each other."

The one who is loved the perfect love

by Jesus, in turn loves oneself and others

will have joy completely:

This is the equation of one having 

joy completely.

No more needed people hard working to gain wealth,

fame, beauty and power on day and night

for a little joy, nor competition, greediness,

jealousy, drunkenness or drugs etc needed.

The root of joy is loving each other.

For love is the substance of joy.

God is love,

therefore He says whoever listens my word

in loving each other rejoices completely.

Then what is love?

The attitude that one's heart desires

to be good for whom one loves; and

doing one's best for the person to be good.

How can we love?

There are people hard to love,

even enemies.

God bless you today and always.
