Joy
I am nourished by the joy of God that feeds my soul.
I live in a world of God’s creation that offers many reasons and occasions to experience joy. A breath of fresh air, a hug from a loved one, a movie or a book of inspiration—any of these can call forth the gladness of my soul into expression.
My deepest joy, however, is my relationship with God, and I experience such soul satisfaction in thinking of and communing with God. I find joy in enriching my soul with prayer. Reflecting on a lifetime of prayer, I have clarity of purpose that can never be taken away from me.
The people and circumstances that seem to create my joy are, in reality, reflecting what I already have in the deepest part of me. Realizing this, I am grateful for the joy of God that feeds my soul.
“And all the people went up following him, playing on pipes and rejoicing with great joy.”—1 Kings 1:40
