It will make you happy if you really
serve the Lord Jesus. The more faithful you are in
showing love to others and in obeying the Lord in
all things, the more your life will be full of joy.
Christ said in John 15:11
“These things have I spoken unto you that MY
JOY might remain in you, and that YOUR JOY MIGHT BE
FULL.”
Memorize the verse.
I would encourage you to especially
study chapters 14, 15,16 and 17 in the Gospel of John.
These are Christ’s intimate words spoken to
His own between being in the upper room with Hi disciples
and going to the mock trial and to the cross only
hours later. These were the special last words of
Christ’s to the apostles or disciples prior
to His death. They are like last words we might speak
to our loved ones knowing that soon we will be leaving
this earth.
Consider that Christ left a legacy
for them and for us.
