A happy person is an encouraging person, offering hope to those around them. Is your gratefulness and your smile catchy? When we live in such a state of contentment, no matter our circumstances, we can represent Christ and the joy of His heart, a people thankful and full of His joy!
Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Joy is not a byproduct of our success or a good cup of coffee! Joy comes from Jesus and being secure in Him alone. Sometimes taking a deep breath and quick look around us and even a lighthearted smelling of the roses is necessary to regain our joy! If I look around me I can easily find a few things that bring me a reminder that joy is eternal! The playful laughter of my kids telling "knock knock" jokes, the treasure I have in good friends, the love of my husband, and the faithful acts of a loving heavenly Father!
