Fullness of Joy!
If we truly want to be one with Christ Jesus, we must be consistently renewed with Joy. Jesus is the fullness of Joy, and we can only be one with Him to the extent we are filled of Joy.

The Bar
What is the Bar? What is the standard that we must hold ourselves to? Purity, Holiness, Love, Forgiveness, Prophetic, Peace, Evangelism, Community ect.
God is... He is the one who asks the question and holds the answer. There is no other answer. The only way to truly reach the Bar that is set for us as humans is this, meet the God-Man Jesus Christ. I have been working on my own development as a Christian for the last 6 years or so... The closer I get to the Bar, the further away I realize it truly is from me. The times I have felt closest to the Bar were the days of complete loss, and defeat. When I had no one else to turn. Anyone who's been in that place understands this; God is close to the brokenhearted.
I want to be honest, I have struggled in my life as a Christian. I have tried my hardest, and failed miserably. Sometimes, like most people, I feel as if I'm fighting for my life... not the destiny I felt God has me. But do we realize, God allows these issues to surface on purpose. They were there all along... Yes! that's right.
The only way to meet the Bar is to meet God. It's the only way! To pray the prayer, and put a big bull eye on your chest. God, I trust you to do things your way; I'm opening my heart and I'll place myself before the bonfire of your love and believe you to make everything work out.
Repeat this action, till your soul is on fire and the process is complete...
