"Though you have not seen HIM, you love HIM; and even though you do not see HIM now, you believe in HIM and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious 'JOY'"
1 Peter 1:8

Today, being Monday, the first busy day of your week, we pray that you get your 'JOY' ON and praise the LORD with us, the whole week long!

"Though you have not seen HIM, you love HIM; and even though you do not see HIM now, you believe in HIM..."  You do not tend to love someone you have never seen. In the case of your LORD, it is easy to believe in HIM and love HIM for all the many things HE has done and is still doing in your life every day.

Peter says that because you believe in HIM, you "are filled with an inexpressible 'JOY'". You have been filled with a 'JOY' that is impossible to describe with words.  Filled with a 'JOY' that is impossible to contain.  Filled with a 'JOY' that bubbles over the top of your cup and pours out of you to 'infect' those around you.  Filled with a 'JOY' that you must giveaway to others.

Peter says that because you believe in HIM, you "are filled with a glorious 'JOY''".  You have been filled with a 'JOY' that is beautiful, splendid and magnificent in it's very nature, it is this 'JOY' that brings glory to HIM who gives you HIS 'JOY'.

Thanks be to GOD for HIS inexpressible and glorious gift of 'JOY'!  Let HIS 'JOY' flood your soul every day.  Do not try to describe it to others, just live in HIS 'JOY' and allow it to flow through your life into the lives of those around you.  The beauty people see in you, will be the 'JOY' of the LORD.  Today and everyday, live your life in the 'JOY' of the LORD!
