Good Morning!
But for you who fear My name [with awe-filled reverence] the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go forward and leap [joyfully] like calves [released] from the stall. -Malachi 4:2
If you have ever seen what calves look like when you release them into the field on a nice spring day after they have been penned in for a while you can really appreciate this verse. You can see the pure joy as they start running and kicking and leaping. That is what we can experience when we have that relationship with Jesus, that pure joy of being free and nothing weighing us down. If we can recognize the Holiness and Righteousness that God has, and although He didn’t have to, He chose to make the ultimate sacrifice for us. We have direct access to the greatest source of Holiness/Perfection…..Jesus, and through Him we can experience the ultimate joy.
“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” -Marianne Williamson
“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come without leaving happier.” -Mother Teresa

The rabbit says, I think I might be a type O.
