CHOOSE JOY

Joy is not something that happens to you. It is an issue of life, and out of your heart flow issues of life. Joy is energy for transcendental performance. Now, every time you spend time with GOD, you have access to joy in its fullness. It is then up to you to choose joy and how much of it you want to live with. Joy had chosen you from when you were formed, but you have to choose joy to experience and express it. It comes from the inside out; first affecting your mind positively and then going on to affect your life and everything around you. It brings an amazing positive vibe that makes things right in your life, even when it doesn’t seem so. This is the crux of our work at Joyed Up. We are spreading JOY one heart at a time. Deliberately choose joy and experience a transformed life. Stay Joyed Up!

Action Tip:

Whatever happens to you, just fake a smile and whisper to yourself, 'I choose Joy'. Write about it in your journal and end by writing 'But I choose to Stay Joyed Up'.

Affirmations:

I declare that I do not worry about anything; instead, with praise and thanksgiving, I unburden at HIS feet, and I find peace in HIM. I have all that I need because the earth and everything in it belongs to GOD. I refuse to let the world and its pressures determine my outlook or my perspective about life, but I allow the joy of the Lord into my life because it gives me strength. I choose joy because that is what makes life worthwhile. GOD is the source of my joy; therefore, I choose GOD, and joy automatically follows. My life is in an upward direction because GOD is in it, and because HE is, I am joyful. I do not look at what is not happening; instead, I lean into GOD, and I choose to stay joyful. I say to you, SADNESS, “Be far from me, I am done with you”. The joy of the Lord is my strength; therefore, I am strengthened with power and might. I am bold and courageous because joy dwells on the inside of me. I choose joy, so I find peace. From now on, I deliberately choose what to respond to. I declare that I am glad, joyful, happy and positive about my life. I am joyed up because the joyful side is the winning side. Halleluyah!
