The Vinedresser Is Never Nearer

Happiness Is About What Happens To You; And, To An Extent, It's Dependent On Your Circumstances, Your Behaviors, And Your Attitudes. But The Joy Of Christ Is Much, Much Bigger. The Joy Of Christ Is About Relationship With A Person. It's Something You Have Access To, But It's Also Something You Must Choose. Christian Joy Shows Up Not Only In The Happy Times But Also In Times Of Trial And Discouragement.

And Rely On Him With 100 Percent Of Your Faith For 100 Percent Of Your Life Throughout 100 Percent Of Your Tomorrows. He Will Give You A Peace No Thief Can Ever Steal.

There Is A Sense In Which The Christian's Life On Earth Is A Dress Rehearsal For Heaven. Not In Terms Of Costumes And Theatrics, But In Terms Of Worship And Devotion To The One We Will Worship For All Eternity - The Lamb Who Sits On The Throne Of Heaven.

There Are Other Kinds Of Joy Found In Other Places In The World, But There Is No Place Where You Can Find Christian Joy Except In Christ.

No Christian Is Abandoned At The Moment Of Death. The Angels Are The Ushers, And Our Passage To Heaven Is Under Their Escort.
