Today's thought on joy

"And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your towns, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell there." {Deuteronomy 16:11}

Most Holy Trinity, you dwell in your Church by your mighty Word, enfleshed in Jesus. By the eternal Word of all joy and mercy, cause me to love my neighbor, to be generous to the needy. Grant that my congregation and my pastor overflow with love for the least of these my brethren. May it please you to use me as a vessel of your mercy- now, today. Amen.

From: A Little Book on Joy, Pastor Matt Harrison
