Choosing JOY is not always that easy

By 8:00:00 AM


In last few weeks  post I talk about joy and happiness, I didn’t know that the very next day I would be face with the test of my life!

WOW! I’m very into practice what you preach but dang! I was not expecting this gruesome challenge.

How do I find joy when my world is shattered in million pieces, when everything I stand for become an unreachable dream,  an illusion,  A sham, a screen saver?

Joy come from the inside. How do I remain “joyful” when my inside is filled with Stinky bitterness,  and anger?

But God !!!

I Praise God for supernatural healing, for healing my broken heart… in ways only Him could. I praise him for Grace and Mercy, for hope that the deadness is not forever, for hope that the deadness will serve as compost that fuel my garden, my garden that will flourish with JOY, measureless, pure, everlasting, unwavering JOY.

My happiness you may take but this JOY that I have the world didn’t give it to me so the world most definitely can’t take it away.

Like David said in Psalm 118:13 “I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me.” He set my feet on a rock so I won’t be moved.

What's threatening your joy today?

    I agree. :) It's hard to be joyful when things are bad. But I'm thankful our joy is of God and we can always turn to Him.

    Thanks for sharing this. I know how hard sometimes to feel joyous. I thank God that my joy is in Christ Jesus. Life is filled with disappointments and pain. Thank God for Jesus. I too have a testimony...that I am thinking about sharing on my blog. I know the love of Christ...because I have experienced it and continue to experience. Again, thanks for sharing this. And I pray God's blessings upon you and your family.
    Much Love,
