Joy Springs Up From Within Me Today.
True joy comes from trusting God. It is the fruit of my spiritual practice and the awareness that I am more than my physical self and the sum of my experiences. Joy does not depend upon the variables of wealth, circumstances, or possessions. Rather, it comes from a consciousness that creates fertile ground for joy to grow. Pausing for a quiet moment, I imagine a fountain. The beautiful, captivating pattern of flowing water makes soothing, rhythmic sounds that encourage my stillness. I picture brilliant sunlight glistening on water droplets as they fall into a radiating pattern in the pool below. Relaxed and receptive, I now welcome the joy springing up in me.
I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.—John 15:11
