Joy....Comes in the Morning!

My father causes the pansy to grow and to bloom! 

When I look at a flower, it makes me smile, it pricks my emotions 

and gives me JOY!  What gives you JOY?  What changes your heart and fills it with JOY?  A will that holds to hope? An eye for beauty that might be hidden? A will strong enough to look for it in every circumstance? It could be right in front of you; you can touch it, feel it - it's coming that JOY! Yes it is, it is coming!  Believe it, rub it on your heart with laughter!  

The fragrance of another beautiful day filled with the unseen, unfold it, dig it out, expose it and experience it...that joy!  Grab it, like your holding onto sparkles, then let them lightly go and trickle all around you.  It is joy, flowing all around you!

When I see God's creation, it forms hidden praises in my heart and soul.  His promises are found everywhere in His word, read it.  Make it intentional!  Make it whole - JOY! 

Psalms 30:4

Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.  

For Anger is but for a moment.  His favor is for life;  

Weeping may endure for a night,  but joy comes in the morning!

All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
