THE JOY IN KNOWING HIS LOVE

JOY is in the confidence of knowing that you are loved by God.  When you get the revelation of His love, then there is nothing that can take the JOY of that love from you.  We know that in everything God works for the good of those who LOVE HIM.  Notice the key part of this verse: "those who love Him."  Do you love Him? I mean really love Him.  Are you spending time with Him daily, do you delight in His Word?  Is your confidence in knowing His love will bring you through any situation or circumstance; and regardless of the outcome you are still His beloved and He is yours.  Is your love for Him such that no one, or no thing could cause you to turn from such a great love as this.  Have you come to realize the price He paid for your love?  Oh beloved,  when you come into the revelation knowledge of HIS love - NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING can take from you the Joy in knowing the fellowship of His love. 
Today I pray for you as Paul prayed:
So I bow in prayer before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth gets its true name. I ask the Father in his great glory to give you the power to be strong inwardly through his Spirit. I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by faith and that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. And I pray that you and all God's holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ's love—how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. Christ's love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God.


With God's power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine. To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, forever and ever. Amen.
