JOY IN HEAVEN

"Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

Luke 15:10
King James Version

M. A. Dodge wrote a beautiful hymn "THE ANGELS’ JOY". I love the words in this inspiring hymn.

"There is joy among the angels, When the children seek the fold; How they tune their harps and voices, Gathered ’round the gates of gold.

Then to Jesus come away; Hear Him kindly, gently say, Suffer all the little children, Bid them come to Me today.

There is joy among the angels, When a soul by sin oppressed, To the Savior turns repenting, And receives the promised rest.

There is joy among the angels, As they bear the news to Heaven, Of a child on earth rejoicing, O’er the bliss of sins forgiven."

Have the angels rejoiced because you gave your heart and life to Jesus? If you have never opened the door of your heart and invited Jesus to come in to be your Saviour, I urge you to do it even as you read this devotion. Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you.
