If you are looking for a way to reflect on the joy that the Holy Spirit provides us in life, this song is for you. Check out Housefires – We Have No Good.
It is easy to assume that people have goodness in them. However, Scripture makes it clear that we have nothing good except what has been given through Jesus.
We are all sinful and fall short of God’s standard of perfection. This song’s repetition and the display of worship in this casual room setting remind us that we have nothing to offer, but we have received every blessing in Christ.
In this song the phrase “There is fullness of joy in Your presence” is repeated continually. Knowing that we have nothing significant to offer could cause us to feel discouraged, however, that is not the point. The meaning is that Jesus has given us forgiveness, transformation, and freedom from the burden of sin.
We can have His joy in our lives and live out the fullness which He has for those who love Him. In knowing our weakness and our inability to bring forth any goodness enables us to appreciate His goodness.
Maybe you are feeling discouraged about your failures today? May this music video be a reminder of Jesus’ forgiveness. Perhaps you are feeling like you have no joy in your life. As you hear the message of having fullness of joy, be encouraged that Jesus is the reason and the way for us to have this kind of life and attitude each day. No matter what we are facing, He is with us.
“All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.” Isaiah 64:6
