Day 11 "You Are Joyful"
Pure Joy
Good Morning Beauties!
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the suffering and afflicted. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted, to announce liberty to captives, and to open the eyes of the blind. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of God’s favor to them has come, and the day of his wrath to their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel he will give: beauty for ashes; joy instead of mourning; praise instead of heaviness. For God has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for his own glory.”
Isaiah 61:1-3 The Living Bible
Beauties, this passage describes the Good News of Jesus. It paints a picture of the beautiful life found in Christ, our Savior. It speaks of the transformation available to those who believe in Jesus and make Him the Lord of their life. Do you know this Jesus? Not know “of” Him, but know the person of Jesus? Do you remember that moment you met Him? Selah.
Let’s take time today to thank Jesus for giving us this new life, and let’s remember where He’s taken us from and where He’s taken us to. My list is long. How about yours? Selah.
We’ve all got a reason to celebrate the absolute goodness of God and how He replaced our sorrow with joy.
