“That your joy might be full” ( I John 1:4). The Lord loves to see His people joyful, and therefore, He has made full provision for them in His Holy Word. He bids them to cast all their cares upon Him, to expect every necessary and good thing from Him, and to rejoice always in Him.
John wrote that “God is love!” That Christ was their propitiation and advocate. All this that their joy might be full. Beloved, all our sorrows spring from our sins, but our joys are the gifts of free grace. There is enough in this world to make us miserable, but there is enough Jesus in us to fill us with joy under the most miserable of circumstances.
