How To Replenish Love's Delight...

“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11). Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. Above, a few verses from a few missed on the weekendbecause we were away for a bit! Great verses to contemplate as we begin a new week! May your week be as sweet as a Krispy Kreme donut!(One of our stops) It's easy to be filled with delight while savoring donuts,but life/love isn't always as soft and sweet as a fresh donut, is it?!If it was we would become fat and foolish,sluggish and selfish! James 1:2-4 BSBConsider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. To overcome despairIs to replenish love's delightThrough faithful, thankful prayer Is to fix our eyesOn He whose hope elatesWhose grace made possible the prizeThat faith anticipates Is to count our joysRather than our woesIs to seize what each morn deploysAnd dusk draws to a close Is to choose what is rightAnd forgive fellowmanAnd in each flight from morn to nightTo do the best we can Because God gave His bestBecause He loves us soTo dwell on this renews the zest/questNo care can overthrow Because when we believeWe walk by faith, not sightAnd as we trust we will receiveLove's replenished delight Janet Martin Jer.17:7“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
