What does love sound like?
I think it can be heard in many ways, but what is most important is the heart through which it is delivered.
When we sing out with joy to the Lord, what do you think it feels like to Him?
Probably pretty awesome.
Today, whether we are sad, happy, frustrated, energized – no matter what we are, where we are, or how we feel, we can shout out with joy to the Lord.
Do you know why? It’s because His love for us is unending and utterly constant through all of our life experiences, feelings, situations, or circumstances. And we can always praise Him.
Isn’t it wonderful that nothing can take that privilege away from us? He never changes and neither does His love for us. He loves to hear from us any time – and really, as much as possible. We don’t have to come to Him only when we feel awesome.
If today you can’t muster up the energy to audibly shout out with joy to the Lord, you can still do so in your heart. And it will do your own heart good and bring great joy to the Lord, our Father.
He can read our hearts, you know.
And if you can do it with an audible shout of glee, then do it! Maybe you can even help someone else to do so along with you. I bet that really makes Him happy. 🙂
Imagine the sweet sound it will be to His mighty ears.
All the earth. All His children. All to Him.
It’s all a part of what real and true love sounds like – and it speaks volumes as to the fullness of joy and the fullness of life that we have because of Him.
Thank you, Jesus. We love you.
1 Hallelujah! Praise God from heaven, praise him from the mountaintops; 2 Praise him, all you his angels, praise him, all you his warriors, 3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, you morning stars; 4 Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds; 5 Praise, oh let them praise the name of God – he spoke the word, and there they were! 6 He set them in place from all time to eternity; He gave his orders, and that’s it! 7 Praise God from earth, you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps; 8 Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders; 9 Mountains and all hills, apple orchards and cedar forests; 10 Wild beasts and herds of cattle, snakes, and birds in flight; 11 Earth’s kings and all races, leaders and important people, 12 Robust men and women in their prime, and yes, graybeards and little children. 13 Let them praise the name of God – it’s the only Name worth praising. His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky; 14 he’s built a monument – his very own people! Praise from all who love God! Israel’s children, intimate friends of God. Hallelujah! Psalm 148 The Message
Eyes Wide Open 
Jesus is saying to me… ‘ let there be joy’ therefore in-union with His Spirit I say… ‘ let there be joy’ and we that gather in the Great Assembly say… ‘ let there be joy ‘ . Life and death is in the power of the tongue. What Jesus whispers in our spiritual ears let us shout it from the mountain tops. By faith, joy now is… And we all praise Him with joy. Now I will read out loud Psalm 148…
O it is well with my soul, it is well… Hallelujah!!!
Thank you for stirring up the Gift that is me… Jesus is that gift in union with my spirit, we are of the Church betrothed to Him… Our Groom. Let the bells ring, the the birds sing, Jesus Christ is Lord.
Beautiful! Thank you for your inspiration and beautiful encouragement. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!!!
