Something amazing happened at our house two days ago. We opened the blinds on our front door to let some sunshine in. No, that’s not the amazing part, though we are rarely home during the day to do this.
I’m sitting at the kitchen table enjoying a mid-morning cup of coffee when Nancy says, “Sweetheart, come in here; look at this!” I put down my phone to investigate.😌
As soon as I set foot in the living room, I see it: a perfect shadow of the word JOY on the wall. A look across the room reveals the source— light blasting through the blinds.
The pristine silhouette lasted about ten minutes, until the angle of the sun changed. Alas, the poet Robert Frost says it best, “Nothing gold can stay.”
Or can it?
God’s most precious gifts never expire. When Jesus was born, only a few folks knew who He really was. And, 2000 years later, He’s still saving lives!👼🏼✝️
…for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
John 4;42b (KJV)
Kind reader, the best this fleeting world can offer is like a shadow on the wall. Yet, heaven’s joy is the real thing, coming straight from God’s throne!
Whose Joy?
This joy that I have
The world can’t take it away
It belongs to God
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
Isaiah 55:12a (NIV)
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️
