Indescribable Joy

I know the last blog was a little late. but felt it was necessary to still send as I believe more then ever, God, Our Father is searching the hearts and trying the reins of mans motives. Proverbs 20:5 The intentions of a mans heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. I have been thinking about this an awful lot lately as it is mans choice everyday what he or she is going to do. He or she can choose to look at all the circumstances around them, or focus on the goodness of God and Praise Him out of Romans 8:28; that all things work together for good. The one with the greatest understanding of this is our Savior and Redeemer; Yeshua (Jesus) it says in Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet without sin. He (Yeshua) wanted to experience everything that we do. Mark 6:19; He has known the loss of a family member, grief (John the Baptist) his cousin, who was slain for nothing more then confronting a wicked man and woman of their sin. He knew hunger in the desert for 40 days and in Matthew 4:2; He was tempted and confronted by satan himself to manipulate the situation. Also He has known separation from His Father because of sin, not His but ours, He sweated drops of blood in the garden, not because of what He was going to have to endure, but for the first and only time in His existence He was going to be separated from His Father. In that same passage in Luke 22; He has also shown us obedience and submission. His walk on this earth also showed us compassion and humility. Some would say where is the joy in this? The joy is yet through all of our weaknesses and failures, times of separation because of our choices and sin. He still loves us and continues to try to draw from those deep waters He has placed within us. Spring up oh wells! In the hearts of man across the nations today!
