The commandments of God are not stern or harsh.
They are gifts from God to give us joy.
They are righteous and true guides given to us for our good.
His commands give us light for our path.
His gift of light opens our eyes
giving us knowledge, insight, and understanding.
Do God’s commandments and commands give you joy
or are they just lists of thou shalt not?
Are His precepts light that shines to show you the way to live?
Blessings this day of grace,

You are blessed indeed to know the joy of our Lord and Savior and to follow Him faithfully. The more I know of Him the narrow path fills with wonder.
In the Old Testament, the Ten Commandments is a list of mandates I think that I will walk the narrow path. When Jesus became man, the Beatitudes in the New Testament, I feel so blessed and joyful to follow the Way of Jesus.
