Song: “Joy Unspeakable”
Barney E. Warren
I have found His grace is all complete,
He supplieth every need;
While I sit and learn at Jesus’ feet,
I am free, yes, free indeed.
REFRAIN:
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,
Full of glory, full of glory;
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,
Oh, the half has never yet been told.
I have found the pleasure I once craved,
It is joy and peace within;
What a wondrous blessing, I am saved
From the awful gulf of sin.
REFRAIN:
I have found that hope so bright and clear,
Living in the realm of grace;
Oh, the Savior’s presence is so near,
I can see His smiling face.
REFRAIN:
I have found the joy no tongue can tell,
How its waves of glory roll;
It is like a great o’erflowing well,
Springing up within my soul.
REFRAIN
VERSE: II Timothy 2:24, “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,”
You have so much to offer those around you and especially the younger generations. You have wisdom that comes from a close walk with Jesus and rich experiences that only a long life can bring. As people of God, we are to serve Him in such a way that our lives reflect who He is. We are to be a light to those around us. We are to light the way for them to come to know Jesus as we know Him. A huge part of that testimony is that we get along with others. We are to be gentle and patient with those around us. Each person in your life was placed there by God. Make sure you are showing them who He is. Remember, Jesus loves you. You are loved.
Prayer: Jesus, fill me with Your spirit. Help me to be a true reflection of You. Give me a gentle spirit that is quick to teach, that is kind, and patient. Help others see You in me and may I give everyone in my life Your love and Your mercy. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
