In Your presence is fullness of joy

In Your presence is fullness of joy!


" In Your presence is fullness of joy! At Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore!" Psalm 16:11 </a>

The presence of God, even in this world of trial and sorrow—brings peace and comfort.
But in the world above—at God's right hand—there is "fullness of joy."
Here we have the dawn of joys—there the meridian day!
Here we have the bud —there the expanded flower!
Here we have streamlets —there the ocean itself, "Fullness of Joy!"

In God's presence, there will be the joy of gratitude for redeeming mercy —and the ten thousand times ten thousand blessings that follow in its train.

In God's presence, there will be the joy of purity —the happy consciousness of being free from all defilement and stain.

In God's presence, there will be the joy of love —the blessedness of delight in the happiness of others—of loving all, and of being loved by all.

In God's presence, there will be the joy of communion —of happy fellowship with the first-born sons of light, with the just made perfect, and with God our Savior Himself!

All holy joy is there—and there in its completeness!

And to crown all, that holy joy will be abiding , "In His presence is fullness of joy; at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore ."

New delight will attend familiar bliss—and new springs of blessedness will rise long as the days of eternity shall last!
