REJOICE IN THE LORD




A woman left her waterpot ---
With joy she ran to tell
Of Christ and living water
She’d found there at the well.

A man from Ethiopia
Believed what Phillip had to say ---
Then after he was baptized
Went rejoicing on his way!

Paul rejoiced in tribulation,
Thousands more rejoiced in death;
It seems when we are close to Him,
Joy comes with every breath!

There’s rejoicing when we find Him,
And when we follow where He leads;
There’s rejoicing every moment
As He supplies our every need.

We can never be unhappy
In the presence of our Lord,
If we let His love and Spirit
Guide us daily in His Word.

This poem is a wonderful reminder to choose to rejoice everyday just as we did the day we accepted Christ as out savior. Sometimes I forget. I am going to print this and tape it to my mirror so I see it first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
