The Joy of knowing Christ

Christ. It has been a joy for me that I know Christ. Jesus Christ is the source of my life. When I reflect upon my life, I know that in every situation of my life Jesus has always been with me.

This joy of knowing Jesus was possible when I said my "yes" to Him... to follow Him, to trust in Him, to live in His light and to know Him more in a personal way. Jesus is always there, to talk to Him, to comfort me, to guide me, and to listen to Him. This is a real joy for me of knowing Christ.

Oh, how much I wish that more people experience the joy of Christ in their lives. Life would be more meaningful when one accepts His love and be embraced by the Father. Life would be different... because one will experience life differently... and will experience life through the love of Jesus, of His Father.

Come Holy Spirit... give us this grace to experience the joy of Jesus.
