Joy Fills My Heart and Colors My Life.
Many things can cause me to feel happy—fun times with the people I love, my favorite pastimes, a lovely day, even revisiting a treasured memory. But feelings of happiness can be fleeting. Like rain clouds that can darken a sunny day, my feelings of happiness can shift with the transient rhythms of life. Joy is different. A divine idea, joy is constant and enduring, always as near to me as my next breath. Choosing to live in a state of joy keeps me spiritually grounded and emotionally free. I make the commitment to look beyond happiness to discover the joy from which it springs. I awaken to the sparkling, jewel-like joy of each moment and claim it for myself. Joy is my choice and my divine right as an expression of God.
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God.—Isaiah 61:10
