I have been and am currently on a mission of Joy! No, I am not in a fluffy, bouncy party dress adorned with my lace parasol dancing down the streets spreading joy like the fairy godmother!
Moreover, I am on a mission for joy! Joy, a feeling of extreme pleasure and happiness! I want joy to become my essence rather than the world’s ways or my circumstances to dictate.
Proverbs 17:22 ESV “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
John 15:11 ESV “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
Psalm 32:11 ESV “Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.”
Psalm 33:21 ESV “For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.”
Psalm 16:11 ESV “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
1 Peter 1:8 ESV “Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory.”
Galatians 5:22 ESV “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.”
John 16:24 ESV “Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”
Dear Lord, I stand before you, and you know me! In a world where many don’t know our names or who we are, and most don’t even care. We can find comfort in knowing you know us; you love us, and your words of many speak of the joy you wish for us. You are the creator of joy, and joy is your essence, Lord Jesus! Thank you that all we ever need to do is look up, say hello, and ask for the simplicity of joy, pure, golden, sweet gooey joy! Let it fill us full and ooze out like honey leaving a sticky trail for others to get stuck in and enjoy. Lord you are my joy! I give you so much adoration, and I am full of thanksgiving for this day, of beautiful blue skies and lots and lots of sunshine. Lord Jesus in your name I humbly give you all the praise, all the glory and all my heart. Amen!
This is an invitation to join me on my daily quests for joy! Be blessed, be a blessing, and have a great day! Thank you for sharing your time with me. 🥰
