Life in Christ is a constant, abiding joy. For me, it’s a life radically different from what I planned, praise God! It’s laughter and delight and love and hope and peace. Consistently. It’s a beautiful marriage and it’s wonderful friendships and a happy family and home. And it’s a constant state of awe and gratitude for life. It’s healing and forgiveness. And joy. Deep, abiding, giggles-in-the-heart joy. - Miniature Clay Pot.
I don't know that I could have written that any better.
Lord, help me to choose JOY each and every day. Even those days when I am faced with the most difficult circumstances, fill my heart with the JOY of You. JOY knowing that I will spend eternity in your presence without pain, without suffering. JOY in the anticipation that soon, very soon, I will get to spend every moment in worship and praise. Father, help me to continually feed my heart with Your love and grace, Your hope and peace, Your JOY.
My JOY this year and forever is Jesus.
