August 13: Jeremiah 13-15; John 15

Scripture: John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Observation: We always desire to bring joy to the one we love. It becomes our goal. In this verse we see the joy Jesus has and the joy we have. He is the source of our joy, and in a wonderful way, we are the source of His joy. What an amazing thought, that we have the power to bring joy to God. I wonder if there are times when heaven rings with the joyful laugh of God as He watches His children do those things that please Him! (I wonder what the devil thinks when he hears God laugh?)

Application: My goal: to make Jesus smile! May He even get a good laugh from me from time to time!

Prayer: “I love you Lord; and I lift my voice; To worship you, Oh my soul rejoice. Take joy my king, in what you hear; may it be a sweet, sweet song in your ear.” (Laurie Klein) Amen.
