Joy

Jesus's Prayer For Us

But now I am coming to you, and these thing I speak
in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in
themselves (V. 13).


Jesus prayed for joy. One of the greatest benefits of
community is the encouragement that it brings. The
Christ-followers who surround me constantly point
me back to Jesus. When the pressures of life arise,
I am prone to forget my identity and lose my way.
When I do, my believing friends are there to remind
me who Jesus is and who He has declared me to be.
They remind me that  my joy is found in relationship
with my Creator, and my greatest hope can only be 
satisfied by Him.
