The Joy of the Lord In Your presence I find the fullness of joy and at Your right hand are eternal pleasures. I think it is safe to say that all of us need more joy in our life. The problem is, far too many of us seek joy in the wrong places. The stuff of life promises joy, but most often delivers bitterness and pain. Some of the happiest people I have ever known are the ones who have little of this world’s trinkets. The people who have discovered the joy of serving Jesus know that they have a home being prepared for them in glory! Our heavenly home will never need repairs or renovation. It will be a home that will be new and beyond all expectation, every moment, forever and forever. This world is not our eternal home. Compared to the heavenly home that is waiting for us in glory, the most luxurious mansion here on earth is a broken-down shack. It is not the quality of the mansion that makes it magnificent, but the fact that we will live forever in the presence of the Lord! That truly is the Joy of the Lord! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions! Pastor Cecil Thompson
