Happy Meal
Mcdonald's has this thing called a Happy Meal; each meal comprises of a very small quantity of food (a miserable burger and some fries), a drink and, of course, an inexpensive toy.
It doesn't take a lot to make kids happy.
Today, we as the children of God have a Happy Meal that we can partake in everyday too. It is called Communion.
It consists of the body of Christ (by His stripes we are healed, we are made whole- body, mind, spirit and soul. We are victorious and death has no hold over us because we are the resurrected ones in Christ), and the blood of Christ (our sins once scarlet are now white as snow because of His perfect and single sacrifice on the Cross. Today we can say we have the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We are, as a result of this shedding of blood, the heirs to the promises of Abraham and all the blessings of Heaven and Earth are ours, and these blessings bring with them no sorrow. We are above not beneath, kings and priests, more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. We are in this world but not of this world.).
And usually after our delightful partaking in the LORD's gift of Bread and Wine, our family enjoy the anointing of fresh oil over us which brings our Happy Meal to completion. We have His bountiful blessings, great favour and unconditional love. =)
"You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."- Hebrews 1:9
"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor." - Isaiah 6:1-3
Who needs happiness (an emotion) when one can have everlasting joy (in Christ)? The joy of the LORD is my strength! AMEN! And THAT is my Happy Meal. =D
