Unharnessed Joy

~~~ Acts of the Apostles 4:13-21 ~~~ Psalm 118 ~~~ Mark 16:9-15 ~~~

It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.

What is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to you?
What happened on the best day of your life?
How good are you at keeping a secret?

Some things are not meant to be kept a secret.
If I had been blessed to have had a meeting with the risen Jesus
there is no way I would have been able to keep quiet.

This is where the apostles find themselves.
They are swimming in the pool of unharnessed joy.

He said to them, “Go into the whole world
and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.”

Jesus wants us to be so excited
 that when he sends out into the whole world
we will be jumping with joy.

He wants us to be so filled with joy
and happiness that containing it is no option,
 even if we tried.

He fills us with joy so that we want to go out
and proclaim the Gospel to every creature on earth.

Open up your heart for the possibilities of Joy.
Let your heart burst
at the seams with the joy and love of the Lord.

Let your face reflect this unharnessed joy.

You can make a difference in someone's life right now.
Blessed with unbelievable joy.
Peace.
