The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Joy


Take the Lord into your heart
Take Him into your home
Share His joyful love with family and friends
Share Him with everyone for His Love has no ends
Give to all the graces He has given to you
Give to those who need to know His love is truth
Take from Him undying hope and pure faith
Take from Him and spread it to those who need to be saved
Share Gods message of peace and incredible love
Share with the world His joyful heart that rains down from the heavens above
Give to all the joy and kindness from deep within your soul
Give compassion to those who are lost and of Him do not know
Take Him on your journey keep him always within your life
Take Him with you and carry your own cross of burdons and strife
Share His humanity and be generous to all
Share your blessings and answer His call
Give your all honestly to all his people in need
Give the Gift of Gods Joy to each and every soul that you meet


Romans 15
;1-13
1We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."[a] 4For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.5May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b]on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs 9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:
"Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name."[c] 10Again, it says, "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."[d] 11And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and sing praises to him, all you peoples."[e] 12And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him."[f] 13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
