“Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. (Luke 6:22-23 ESV)
When a child of God has joy, he or she often responds with singing and shouting, and when you are really joyful like David was - leaping! But what is this? Leaping with joy over being persecuted??? When we understand the greatest joy possible, yes. Joy is finding our fulfillment in God and His plan, and being willing to share that with others. If we receive backlash, that is merely reinforcement that our joy is properly placed. So today, may we rejoice in a Savior sent, His salvation accomplished, and the privilege of being a part of His plan.
