S - These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.
God Is Light
5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1 4:7O - "...joy may be made complete." Those words really stuck out to me today. There is so much in these verses, but for some reason "joy may be made complete" really hit home. Doesn't that sound so nice? For something to be complete. Sealed. Done. Lacking nothing. I like that. I want that.
A - Work these past couple of weeks has been anything but complete. It has been a constant list of loose ends and waiting on people to get me this, so I can do this, and get it to so & so. Very few files have been closed up and marked done. I looooong for my stack to dwindle, but right now that's just not possible. Today's verse reminds me that I do have something...a wonderful something...that is wrapped up and taken care of. No loose ends. The joy I find in the Lord is complete. It lacks nothing. It quenches. It satisfies. It surpasses all the temporal stuff down here. It is perfect.
P - Heavenly Father thank You for the gift of Joy and the strength I find in it. I pray as days come and whirl by and nothing seems to get done that I would remember Your joy is always with me.
