Be happy! Romans 12:14-15

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

Romans 12:14-15 "Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep."

Paul is a good example of one who lived up to this persecution. (Acts 28:19)

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. This practice can be found in the life of Christ and proves that this is not just a philosophy. Jesus Christ rejoiced at the marriage feast with those who rejoiced (John 21-12) and wept at the graveside of Lazarus with those who wept (John 11:1-44).

We need to be so intimately involved with the lives of other believers that we know of their joys and their sorrows, and can identify with each. When was the last time you wept tears of joy or tears of sorrow? What purpose can be accomplished by doing this?

The love of Christ, based in our hearts, will bring about a genuine caring and love for those in like kinship. Pray for yourself, ask forgiveness, then pray and rejoice with me as we are children of the king. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
