True Joy of Satisfaction

Real true joy comes from heaven above my heavenly father is the real joy source nothing of this old world can really satisfy telling this to so many makes my voice hoarse Living on this world Jesus showed real joy His aim was always putting joy in the heart increasingly filling each one to the fullest this Jesus was always where it would start The apostle Paul also knew this deep joy speaking to the Philippians of Christ's comfort seeking for his joy to be complete in them coming from participation in Christ's court The joy of knowing Christ Peter expressed exhorting believers to experience this joy which was inexpressible and filled with glory so rejoice with lasting joy the real McCoy (Verse 1 is based on Psalm 4:7 You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. Verse 2 is based on John 15:11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. Verse 3 is based on Philippians 2:1-2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Verse 4 is based on 1 Peter 1:8-9 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.)

Wasn't the apostle Paul, Saul who had a vision and became a believer. I think more people listen to you than you would ever know, and most importantly God and Jesus know. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Great poem. Reminds me of the song 'He gives me joy instead of sadness, He gives me love that casts out fear, He gives me sunshine for my sorrow and beauty for ashes here'. Blessings, Vivien
