JOY of the Lord


We had our Indonesian Maid's Chinese New Year Gathering last Friday. Had a great turn out of 16 Indon ladies. These Indon ladies work around here in Kluang as domestic maids or as factory workers. Two of them have married to locals and have families here. Everyone was happy during the party. Thanks to the good food, good fun and good company.

Half of these ladies are Christians and the other half have yet to know the Lord. A quick glance over them and you can quickly see a distinct difference.

Those whom have yet to know the Lord dresses beautifully and are with much make-up. Dressed to kill !

And those whom know the Lord, dress simply but also smartly. Couldn't describe them as being dressed to kill but noticed a very pleasant Joy of the Lord in them, on their faces which the other ladies do not have. A special aura. No make-up required, but still very beautiful and pleasant. The warmth and the joy catches on so easily although they do not know each other before.

Indeed the Joy in the Lord is for all those whom know and loved Him. Better than pretty clothing and make-up. :)
