Our hearts are no longer heavy, they are light!

This evening at the 'Wycliffe Live' missions event in Coleraine Baptist, the following video clip was shown.  It's the very moving record of the dedication service in which the Kimyal tribe in Papua New Guinea receive the first printed copies of the New Testament in their own language.  Notice the tears of joy at having God's Word for themselves.  


How complacent and ungrateful many of us, who claim to love the Lord, have become when we fail to spend time with the Lord by giving only a few begrudging moments - if at all - to reading our Bibles and meeting with God.  
"...you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia." 1 Thess 1: 6-7
