Tomorrow, we will be conducting a Ladies Day at the Providencia congregation in Santiago, Chile. Mackenzie, IRSM’s summer intern and I have already been in town a few days and are enjoying the opportunity to reconnect with women and develop new friendships with others. The teaching opportunities are a blessing and I can’t wait to connect with all of the visitors and Christian sisters from several congregations who will be in attendance tomorrow.
The topic we will be looking at is Delight! True delight and true joy can only be found in God, which will be our first discussion. We will then look at how God delights Himself in us and how we can delight ourselves in Him.
In light of our blog theme this month, I want to share with you one of the things I will be sharing with the women tomorrow: the true recipe for joy. It is found in the word itself. JOY is an acronym for our priorities: Jesus, Others, Yourself.
In the same way that Jesus summed up the Law and the Prophets: Love God and Love others as yourself, we see the true recipe for joy is found in the same order of priorities: Jesus, Others, Yourself.
May you find true JOY this weekend and thank you for joining us in prayer for the event in Santiago.
