JOYFUL THOUGHTS.

We say we don't want to be alone, and yet we choose to be alone everyday.  Does anyone, ANYONE, (EXCEPT GOD) know ALL or ANY of your deepest thoughts?  If not, YOU HAVE CHOSEN to be alone. Perhaps it is because your thoughts are so deep and revealing that words cannot "justly" express them. Or, maybe this solitude is from lack of Trust.  Even though our thoughts of GOD can in no way approximate, visualize or encompass HIS WHOLE BEING; HE knows these thoughts and LOVES US ANYWAY.  Let me share one of my "recurring thoughts" that only GOD has known up until now.  "Why do Theologians and Christians have such unhappy expressions, and don't enjoy talking with those who want to Challenge their Faith?"  Psalm 139:23, " Search me, O GOD, and know my heart..." If we live and labor without JOY, PLEASANTNESS,  and DOWNRIGHT EXCITEMENT AND EXPECTATION, we may want to ask ourselves, "DO I HAVE JOYFUL THOUGHTS?
