Joy to the Lord?

"May the Lord's face radiate with joy because of you." Numbers 6:25



What may cause the Lord's face to radiate joy?

A humble heart returning home,

a thankful heart turned to heaven in private praise,

a young child smiling at the heavenly sky in wonder,

the young boy who deepens his love for God because a man spoke truth into his life,

a new mother and father moved to joyful tears at the face of a newborn,

a laughter between a mother and child in the midst of a regular day,

the time taken to answer (again) the toddlers questions that seem so small,

the sweet whispers near a dying loved one of the bliss they are walking through while the living hold their breath because angels fill the room,

the simple action of loving someone in need with no lecture,

a warm hug to a stranger in tears,

the warmth of a lovers kiss from your spouse with spontaneity,

a life.....any life given for the sake of others?





Can anything I do generate joy for the Lord?

I think more things than we think generate a glow of joy from our heavenly Father. Why else, would parents display such strength and passion in our pride for our children at the SLIGHTEST improvement, or effort they make with all their hearts!

May I make you my proud daddy God today. Amen
