Choose Joy
Everyone experiences deep sadness and disappointment in life. Sometimes it may seem your life is full of them. You can’t catch a break. Take heart when you experience trials and nothing goes your way. Broken promises, relationships, and disappointments can seem an unending theme. Our Father has promised us joy. He understands joy and sadness more than we know. God’s Word says that when we are sad, our spirit is broken. Don’t let it stop there. Find joy! Look for joy! Choose joy!
In the Bible, joy is mentioned over 250 times. When you feel broken, you can choose joy—the joy of the Lord—and it will be the strength you need. When all happiness is taken from you, choose the joy of the Lord! When you are hurting, look to the joy of the Lord and bravely move in another direction. Make a new friend. Help a neighbor. Pay for a stranger’s coffee order. Choose joy—the strength you need to repair a broken spirit.
Can you see how helping others might bring you joy?
Can you see past your own circumstances to be a blessing to someone with a broken spirit?
