with great joy

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Jude 24-25

I read this today and was met afresh with the boldness of the gospel.

About Him...
Able to keep us from stumbling
Presents us blameless
How? with great joy

It is a good reminder to read He keeps me from stumbling. Not by my might or my striving. The measure that I love God pales in comparison to how He loves me. And then even in the face of my little love for Him, my little sacrifice, my little faith, my little obedience, my little joy, and my lots of sin, he presents me blameless. And with great joy!

How he must love us.....

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast unmeasured boundless free
