Alumni Connect: Joy in Serving Jesus
|
|
The chorus of the old hymn by Oswald J. Smith, reads, “There is joy, joy, joy in serving Jesus, Joy that throbs within my heart; Every moment, every hour, As I draw upon His power. There is joy, joy, joy that never will depart.” I have found this to be true. There is profound joy in living for Jesus – being grounded in him, finding our purpose, and being whomever he wants us to be in our interrelationships with family, church, and community.
