Reset Sunday - Celebration of Joy
Reset / Celebration of Joy Sunday, Jan. 2nd Psalm 118 This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it Living Waiting to live “Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown up people are not strong enough to exalt in monotony but perhaps God is strong enough to exalt in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun, and every evening, “do it again to the moon.” It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike, it may be that God makes every daisy separately but he has never gotten tired of making them. It may be that he has the eternal appetite for infancy. It may be that we have sinned and grown old and our father is younger than we.” GK Chesterton Joy is Gods basic character Joy is His eternal destiny John 15:11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy, Yes, your joy will overflow! To miss out on joy is to miss out on the reason for your existence. “Joy is the serious business of heaven” C.S. Lewis It’s often people closest to suffering who have the most powerful joy.
