In the book "Rainbow Garden," by Patricia St. John, there is a little girl who sees an inscription on a gravestone somewhere in England which states: In.....is fulness of joy.
The stone was worn, and this very unhappy little girl wondered what could possibly be the place where there is fulness of joy!
A charming story ensues with the girl becoming more aware of her own shortcomings and her need for something greater than herself. She does indeed find that place, but the story takes her through some rocky spots on the journey.
The verse is Psalm 16:11, "Thou wilt show me the path of life: In Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
The little girl found joy in the story by allowing Christ's love to engulf her dreary life. She became a Believer.
Anyone who believes is born again, and has that joy, even now.
God's love is fathomless. Isn't that a great word? It speaks of a Universe beautifully and wonderfully created. It speaks of a person, Christ, giving His life. It speaks of the Father, wooing a fallen mankind to Himself. He is fulness of joy, spirit, and life everlasting.
Don't wait. Ask Him to be your Savior. Experience a spiritual birth, and it will all become clear to you!
For those of us who have experienced this, we can't wait to share it with you. Haven't you noticed that we believers share instant rapport when we meet? Have you seen us become friends, even like family, in a single meeting? Haven't you wondered how people from different countries, speaking different languages, can understand and love each other?
It's Christ. We are spiritually alive, seeing with spiritual eyes and sharing the joy of Christ. We know that our meeting is an everlasting one! We are family in the love of the Lord.
There IS fulness of joy, in my heart, even now. How much I want to share.
