12/9 Luke 15:7
7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!
JOY
Joy in heaven is great joy. Joy in our lives is momentary when we base our joy on ourselves: winning, recognition, success, etc. When we base our joy on our salvation, on the Father, on the Holy Spirit’s guidance: that is real joy. Joy like those in heaven experience. It is joy that is not rooted in my humanity but instead is grounded in Christ. He is our joy.
