Joy, What Joy?

There is an enthusium the day that you met Jesus for the first time, it can be in a park, church, home in the bedroom. There is an event that may have caused you to reach out to Him. It could be a tragedy, emotional termoil, or a simple calling where you hear the Lord pulling you towards Him. There was a joy, love and sense of being loved by the heavenly father at that moment, do you remember the day that you found God, and reached out to Him for the first time. Not only did we have a joy about us, but we also had a need to share with everyone that we found Jesus, and that they needed to know Him as well.

As we continued to walk and the days turnd into months that then turned to years what happens to that joy? We walk with Him and sometimes we stumble and fall, but He is there to pick us up and dust us off, guide us along the chosen joy that we are walking, talking and worshiping the almighty Father. That joy, is it still there if not do you evere wonder where it went, do we hide it so we can be normal around those we know and have to deal with on a daily bases.

We walk with Jesus dail and keep up that relationship with Him we grow in Him  and continue to blossom. We are pleasing to the Lord when we take this time to walk and worship him on a daily basis. We are in the church weekly on Sunday doing our thing, talking and fellowshiping with others that we haven't seem since last service. Idealy we are there to worship, listen to the priest / pastor on Sunday morning as he gives us some tools to help us walk with God, and have that daily joy in our lives. When the trail come and they do when you are strong and walking with God,  rely on others in the church, prayer, the priest and pastors to help guide us along in the times that we are struggling. Yet, after the storm passes the Joy will come in the morning, and with that joy is more strength or growth with / in the Lord.

The joy is there, reach out to God, and talk to him, tell him your needs and concerns. Pray, worship, read the Bible  and fellowship with other Christians who are strong in God, and you will see that joy return to you in the morning. You will see and know that God is there walking with you down the street, there with you in the hospital room, or in the ER when all seems lost, and you are at the bottom of the world. Yet, there is God in the middle with you, wiping your tears, holding your hand, and letting you know that there is joy coming, and it is coming if we can just wait for the morning light to shine. He is there, He is always there and will come in a heartbeat if we call out to Him. Call to the alighty Father, wait for Him and see your Joy return to you in the morning.

Leaning

In Sundays service there was an awesome message for all Christians of today. One of leaning on others. Not only leaning on them but then being there for them at tier time of need and allowing them to lean on you. We as people all need someone that we are able to rely on in times of need, it can be friends, family, our priest, the pastor of the church or another soul that we feel feel close to or have bonded with at some point in our lives.  We look to them for support, love, a caring touch, a hug in those moments that we just need a friend. We lean on people and may not realize that we are leaning on them at all, since as friendship and family draw near it is natural to turn to them during this point. Yet, this is a very hard thing for some to do, leaning on others is not a natural thing. It is something that needs to be encouraged, and supported as being ok.

Some of our family, friends have hurt us and scorned us to the point that we are afraid to turn to others in those times. In fear that they will run from us, or worse let us fall in the process and then we hit the floor cause the one we were trying to lean on doesn't want to be leaned on or can't help us at the time of our need. It may not be that they don't want too, but rather they don't have what we need from them at that particular moment.

But there is one that we are always able to lean on at any moment, no matter what the time or situation. There is one that will always love us, hold us in our time of need, one that says give me all your burdens and let me carry them for you. We all have the ability to reach out to Him if we are willing. Our Heavenly Father is always there ready and waiting for us with open arms. He loves us so much and hates to see us hurting, so much so that he sees and knows every tear that we have cried since our birth. He understands what we are going through and says come to me my dear child, come and be comforted.

Our Heavenly Father is there, waiting and willing to listen anytime. He loves and care about us more then we can ever imagine. He is there in our times of need, and in our times of joy. He is there when we need to lean on others, He is there so we can lean on Him , and He can bring the right person to you so you can lean on them during that time. He can provide another person in that time to hug you and say it's okay, I understand, I am here if you need me.  The Father provides priests, pastors in our lives when we need that help, and may need someone to talk to if we need to go that route. He provides Priests and Pastors who care for us, that love us as God's children, who are willing to talk to us and help guide us along the path that ewe are walking.

Ultimately, God wants us to lean on Him, and walk with Him. He is always there! He will never leave us nor forsake us, we are His children! He loves and cares for us, so go ahead and lean on God, He is there waiting for you!
