Jump for Joyნიმუში

Be Extra

In a world so focused on seriousness, we’ve likely all been told at some point that we must grow up, to stop being silly, to be quieter, and that it’s not a time for joy. Today, the description of all that can sometimes be captured in a negative connotation with the word, “extra.” Perhaps you’ve felt shame for being “extra.”

God invites us to be extra for Him. He invites us to share our delight, to sparkle, to shine, and to jump for joy!

In a world that is often shadowed by too much darkness, I invite you to listen to your Heavenly Father:

Be silly.

Be loud.

Be sunny.

Jump for joy because our God is good. He loves you. He will never leave you. He wants you to have joy.

And, for all of that, we give a RESOUNDING YES!

Key Takeaways:

• God gives immeasurably more and invites us to be immeasurably more in shouting His praises
• God didn’t make you to be small; God created you for good works He prepared in advance
• Jump for joy for the goodness that God has created for us

Prayer:

Father, thank You for creating us to be full in Your presence, to only hear Your truth and promises for us. Thank You for giving us so much to celebrate. You’re a good, good Father!
