Rejoice
With The FATHER Over The One Sinner Who
Repents!
"I
tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing
in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine
righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15:10
Today,
being Monday, the first busy day of your week, we pray that you get your 'JOY'
ON and praise the LORD
with us, the whole week long! Just
guess what rejoicing
in heaven is like? Take a moment and give the idea all the effort you can muster.
Well? What fun! Just try to imagine pure rejoicing
without restrictions and walls.
Watch our
'JOY' cow for a minute and see the illustration of what the term rejoicing
implies in the Bible. Take your time and enjoy
this happy picture, just don't go out and start The
Church Of The Rejoicing Cow! 
The
purpose of the rejoicing in this Scripture verse is
directed at the one sinner who repents to receive JESUS
as their SAVIOR. Now we see the vision of FATHER'S
heart - find one sinner! GOD is GOD
of addition. One sinner and one more sinner equals two sinners, two sinners and one
more sinner, etc. All beginning with one sinner.
The LORD
has only one plan: "For GOD
so loved the world that HE gave
HIS one and only SON,
that whoever believes in HIM shall
not perish but have eternal life." John
3:16 HE is
saving the lost, one by one.......! Today and
everyday, live your life in the 'JOY' of
the LORD!
