Nothing Can Keep My Joy From Me.
There are so many things that make me feel joyous—watching a sunset, walking in nature, or looking into a baby’s eyes. Other times, I may feel challenged or distressed, far from joyful. I may be embroiled in conflict, worried about a result, or coping with hurt feelings and struggling to forgive. When that happens, I remember joy is part of my spiritual identity, and I can never be apart from it. Today I commit to living in joy, no matter what may be happening in my life or in the world. Even as I remain present to circumstances, I draw from an inexhaustible well of spiritual truth, the source of my joy. My joy is not overshadowed by fleeting moments of unhappiness. I live with an open heart, filled to overflowing with joy.
For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace.—Isaiah 55:12
