Joy's Innumerable

It was another grand day with the body of Christ. It was such a blessing to see, and hear of what the Lord has done in peoples lives. He has changed shipwrecks into simple lives of joy.

I think one of the things that really set the day off straight was a bit of reconciliation that happened early on. I guess there was a pretty intense discussion that went on between some of the men last night. One of the men told me this morning that it kept him awake 1:00-3:00 this morning. He came to the conclusion that he had spoken beyond what he had seen, and experienced, and knew. I thought for sure he was referring to the scripture I had unwittingly read last night. So I read it. It wasn't what he was referring to, but it was God's perfect word for his situation. That's how God works, always slipping in blessings on us unexpectedly. He said that reading was exactly what he was talking about.

1 John 1:1-4
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
