Tina ThrussellI’m sure I must have shared this message from the Daily Word in the past, but I felt a need to share it today, since it’s really speaking to me…
I’ve viewed Joy as a very ‘up’ and ‘excited’ feeling for most of my life, but when my energy levels are low, it is tempting to think I have no joy in my life since I don’t have that bigger-than-life feeling…
The truth is that Joy can show up in different ways on different days – joy is always there; it’s just more subtle some days. Rather than miss seeing/feeling it, I am reminded to be open to it showing up differently than I might expect.
“I discover reasons to feel joyful every day, even in the most challenging circumstances. I begin by centering my awareness on the Christ Consciousness, the divine presence within. I feel love and peace lift my heart, and possibilities for good fill my thoughts. I am joyous.
I may experience joy as exuberance, delight and wonder. Joy may also come quietly as the peaceful assurance of God’s presence where I am, whatever I’m doing. My awareness of joy brings a glow to even the most ordinary day.
As I engage wholeheartedly in all that is mine to do today, I share my joy with everyone. Through kind words, a sunny smile, and a warm welcome to everyone I meet, I radiate joy and bless the world with my positivity, happiness and bliss.”
May you feel your joy today… however it shows up for you. And know that you are loved.
