There is always space in my heart for joy.
Joy
is everywhere present, even during the darkest moments in life. But
happiness never forces its way into my heart. To experience its gifts, I
have to be willing to choose joy and welcome it. I consider how I might make room in my life for more gladness and
aliveness. Perhaps it is time to finally release a certain resentment. I
might be ready to gently transition out of a period of deep grief and
loss. Maybe I have been berating myself or taking life too seriously. Joy is my natural state. When I choose to make space for it,
spontaneity and playfulness emerge. I set aside my to-do list and
eagerly compose a gratitude list. As I open myself to joy, I am grateful
for how it changes my outlook.
And your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.—John 16:22
