Aiden, who is 5 years old and one of our precious great grandsons, recently heard a song which he really liked. So much so that when he was visiting with his grandmother recently and “his’ song came on the radio, he said,

“Guys, guys! This is my new favorite song! You HAVE to listen to it and you HAVE to like it.”

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we loved Jesus so much that we would be as excited as Aiden was and we would want everyone to listen and “like” it.

I’m reminded of something that John Piper says in his book, “Don’t Waste Your Life” – “Whenever something is of tremendous value to you, and you cherish its beauty or power or uniqueness, you want to draw others’ attention to it and waken in them the same joy.”

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16 (kjv)

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 (kjv)

“Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”   Habakkuk 3:18 (kjv)

“That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.” – Psalm 26:7 (kjv)

 This world needs true joy and everlasting hope!

ARE YOU SHARING YOUR JOY IN JESUS?
