071214 Jesus’ Jewels of Joy #21
Win Them with Joy; Love Them with Joy
After the reading of Jesus’ jewels, the Angel of Joy spoke, saying that lightening us up a little was the order of the day. For during this time of year the Lord comes not only on Christmas, but day by day, speaking to our hearts of his great joy. By contemplating the very face of Jesus, angels of light, the flaming fiery presence of the Holy Spirit, or the very beautiful corona of love glowing around the divine mother, we may feel joy arise within us and know surcease from all that has been anti-joy within us -- past, present and future.
With God all things are possible. Without the presence of God, nothingness is probable. So as we come together to worship, it becomes the “work-ship” of our relations, our comrades, our friends of light; and together, locked hand-in-hand, we ascend a little more each day. Love one another as Jesus has proclaimed it “through the gospel of peace, through the new law of love, through the light that he bore and that he still may bore within you to greater depths of being until you are all light, light, light.”
Win them with joy; love them with joy. Joy is light and light is joy; therefore be that joy and be that light today.
