How to Live Joyfully
How To Live Joyfully
“… So that you may have all endurance and patience, joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.” - from Colossians 1:11-12
At first glance it appears that the author of Colossians has placed the adverb “joyfully” in a very odd spot… We had just received the challenge, maybe even burden of leading worthy lives and bearing good fruit. On top of that we were told that we were going to need a lot patience and endurance to do so.
Where does the joy come from? According to the author, the joy comes from our understanding that we are part of something far bigger than ourselves. The darkness of this world no longer sucks us into a black hole of hopelessness, despair, and resignation. We are children of the light, full inheritors of a deeper richer life eternal, full citizens of the kingdom of God among us.
Living worthily, and bearing good fruit are the inevitable results of our determination to live in love and practice universal shalom. Our joy comes from learning to do so well.
