Joy
I hope you're experiencing the joy of Jesus today. He will delight in you and His joy will abound in you, if you want.
There are plenty of reasons today to be downcast or even passive. I call you to joy. Please don't allow your environment or circumstances to define you, especially if they're negative. Know the grace of God in His freshness and determine to experience and share the joy. Just think of your salvation and your Savior. Joy will begin to overwhelm you with hope and height and love.
This is God's design for each of us. He sees this potential in us and shares His joy without prejudice. Joy is as much a discipline as it is an experience.
1 John 1:3-4 (NIV)
3 "We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 We write this to make our joy complete."
