John 15: 9-11 (NKJV) ~ As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
God's love is the greatest known gift
It is this love that motivates God's heart to provide us with a way out
A way to escape ourselves and the sin filled world
Too often we flaunt the gift or refuse to recognize it
But for those who do recognize there is a fullness that cannot be explained
How can you be full when you're hungry
How can you be full when you're in pain
How can you be full when you're poor
How can you be full when you're alone
This fullness of joy comes from being in the center of God's will
This fullness comes from a deep relationship with Christ
This verse gives the steps to abundant joy
1. Acknowledge God
2. Accept His gift
3. Follow His commandments
4. Experience fullness of joy
