What brings you joy? Pure joy. Innocent joy. Free. Timeless.
This world is filled with issues, difficult people, tragedies, hardships, injustices, sorrows, sickness, loss, and much, much more. These experiences are inevitable. We don't choose most of them, yet God allows them.
Even if you don't feel like it, sometimes it is best to just choose joy. You can't wait to experience it. You need to look for it. Find it. See it. Accept it.
So go ahead and laugh! Eat chocolate! - before dinner! Buy a puppy. (!) Dance!
Sleep! Paint! Sing with the windows wise open! Stay up for the entire ballgame or movie! Yes, wear that fancy - or silly - outfit! For an ordinary day!
Choose joy!
"Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away." Isaiah 35:11
