Walking In the Truth Brings Joy

2 John 4 "It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us."

      Dearest Lord, I don't know if John actually brought this lady to faith in You or if he is speaking of a church.  I also am not sure if John is saying that not all of this chosen lady's children were walking in the truth, or if he had met some of her children in his travels, or where he was when he wrote this letter.  Whatever the case, it gave him great joy to witness their faith in action and to see them walking in the truth.
      I know it gives me great joy to see my own children and grandchildren, students and staff at Liberty, and folks from church walking in the truth as well.  It must bring You joy too to see willing obedience from Your children as they seek out, and then live by, Your truth.  Lord, keep us all ever close to You and give us discernment by Your Spirit to separate truth from falsehood.
