Joy thoughts...

"Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for. Like the ability to run for an hour, it doesn't come automatically. It needs cultivation."
-----Francis Chan "Crazy Love"

Boy, does this ring true in my life. Joy can be very elusive in my heart. Not because of anything it does, but what I do to it. I will allow things like worry, doubt, uncertainty and fear take the megaphone for the inner speakings of my soul. Anytime I do this, I muzzle the freedom of living in joy.

Joy has to be protected as the precious treasure that it is. It is the gateway to seeing this world, these people, our circumstances and possibilities in a very healthy and very different way. We must choose to cultivate joy so it's roots form deep into the marrow of our souls. Do this and you will be one step closer to experiencing life to the fullest.

So what are you doing to cultivate joy in your life?

Heart and Soul,
