Complete joy!
9 As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
11 “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. 12 This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. 13 [a]No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends,[b] because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. 16 It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. 17 This I command you: love one another.-John15:9-17
If we want a joy
that is complete, we have to be open and receptive to the joy of
Christ. To receive the joy of Christ, one must remain in His love. To
remain in His love, one must keep His commandments - which is still
about Love. Is there really such a thing as joy that is complete? I
say, "Yes!" Jesus Himself said, 'I have told you this so
that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.' To stay in
Jesus' love and to keep His commandments also mean doing the will of
God. The will of God can also be in the smallest of all actions i.e.
being kind to our employees.
