The Greatest Joy


Joy is Like Gold Treasure It is Precious. It is highly Valued. So people goes around trying to find The joy that can give them satisfaction. They will do everything to find it to fill in the emptiness inside their hearts. And The World have tried to fill that Emptiness by trying to offer the most pleasurable things. Money, Fame, ,Luxurious Cars And Houses Beautiful cloths, Bags and shoes, Traveling around the World , Partying and drinking, having girlfriend or boyfriend sexualIntimacy, and love. And the World says Follow your heart These are the treasures that you should have Coz if you don't have it you cannot live your life to the Fullest, these treasures that i offer will give you Satisfaction, will give you power, Will give you joy. One day I felt this emptiness inside my heart So I had looked For these treasures And just like everyone else I"d hope to see These great pleasure I'd been looking for it I'd been searching for it I'd been craving for it I'd been doing everything to find it But While I was looking While I was searching While I was Craving While I was doing everything to find those treasures. Someone told me about a man His name is Jesus I know him already but I wasnt really aware Of his presence I know his Name but i'd never bother to go to him And know him better I had heard his voice but I'd never listen He was always near but i was far away My family was close to him Except for me. They labeled him as their Savior They call him the redeemer They call him their Master They call him their Healer They call him the Sinless Yet He died for all our sins. They call him the son of the living God They Call Him Jesus the Christ The Messiah The Chosen One I had been busy looking for World treasures But I got this piece of book called Holy Bible I got no interest of reading it but someone pushed Me to open it. At first I couldn't understand what I was reading But as ld continue reading , I was like digging I was going deeper and While digging by reading I'd stopped And realiZed I had found the real Treasure. These treasure are Golden Truths And These truths hit me like rocks. This Jesus Died on The Cross For the sake of me For the sake of you. He was bruise and wounded for All our sins He nailed on the cross And paid all the Cost He came for us To save us from eternal damnation To give Us hope for the eternal salvation To give us Peace that no one can give To give Us that greatest joy that Satisfy Our Soul To show his love for us though we are sinners. To show forgiveness that we don't deserve. For God so love The world that he gave his only begotten Son And Who ever believes in him will not perish But will have everlasting life. I was busy looking for World treasures Coz I thought thOSe things will guarantee my Greatest Joy But when I got to know Jesus I've found more than I was looking for. Jesus is more than Golds That the World tries to Offer. He is my greatest Joy So now I will no longer chase them Coz I already found my real treasure That is In His presence together with Him In Heaven. I no longer find my worth by World Standard They no longer define my identity Doesnt matter if I don't have what they have The most important thing I got Jesus And doing his will for my life And that's enough for me to have that greatest Joy In my heart .
