Joy

I often think of this verse in 3 John. It's verses 3 and 4, where he says, "It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell me about your faithfulness to the truth, and how you continue to walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." He says children, but he is talking to Gaius here, a friend, he says in verses 1 and 2. I can completely and wholeheartedly agree with John here. The joy of Christ is amazing and indescribable. But to know that a friend is experiencing that joy with you and hear that they are walking in the truth is the greatest joy I can imagine right now. I love you my brothers and sisters who are walking in the truth. You don't have a clue what kind of joy and satisfaction you bring me.
