With Joy!

Our Father has an abundance of love available to all who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. He freely gives, and all we do is receive. Instead of making people greedy, like the world teaches. Papa's riches give us peace and deep appreciation. There is a thankfulness that comes with being a child of God, and it delivers the praise that our King deserves. When we have revelation that our Father is always the same, and that His Word never fails (Luke 1:37), we realize that we can sit in rest on Daddy's lap and simply thank Him. With thankfulness comes recognition of blessings, and with recognition of blessings comes more thankfulness. Jesus Christ died on a cross, in order that we may come to the Father. So through His death, and being raised from the dead, we receive peace that draws us closer to our Father's heart. As we rest and draw near El-Shaddai, we begin to learn the things of God, and as a result we are more ready to praise the name of the Lord. When praises are lifted up to heaven, blessings are poured out on earth. The more thanksgiving, the more fruit. Thanksgiving is an expression of praise to the One that we have faith in. Faith in Jesus goes hand in hand with good fruit. We bear good fruit when we have faith in Yeshua, and in response to bearing good fruit, we worship! Worship through thanks is greatly appreciated by our heavenly Father. In Psalms it says, "Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works through songs of joy" (107:22), and also, "Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation," (50:32). So out of the mouth of God, thank offerings HONOR Him! Let us sacrifice thank offerings and honor our heavenly Father, let us sacrifice thank offerings WITH JOY!

It is my prayer that you all draw water from the wells of salvation, WITH JOY! (Isaiah 12:3)
