Smile, Sing, and Dance for Joy

Oh, the things you have to look forward to! The smile in Jesus’ eyes. The glory of His presence. The community of the saints who’ve been redeemed. The sensory explosion of new sights, sounds, scents, and tastes that you never imagined. The pure JOY of knowing that you were worth saving! The glory of seeing your story through God’s divine, redemptive lens. The new heaven. The new earth. And the absence of all things evil. You’re only here on earth for a short time. For a purpose. May you live as one who is already spoken for. May you believe in Jesus with everything in you. May you love others as He has loved you. And may you hold onto hope—the very anchor of your soul. Jesus is coming. You will smile and sing and dance for joy. So smile, and sing, and dance for joy now. Your redemption is closer now than it’s ever been. 

Romans 15:13 NIV ~ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
