Dear God 🌼 it’s me! I WANTED to be happy today and I think I just MADE my heart smile… How did I do that ? 💛💊
This is WONDERFUL! You are learning something very important today!
What am I learning ? And… is there something else I can do to be happy all the time? Like, to have joy?? I feel really good when I laugh, and I wish I could smile all day!
To have Joy is different from being happy. Happiness comes and goes—it depends on what’s happening around you. But joy stays because it comes from Me.
So, I can’t always be happy… but I can always have joy?
Exactly! My joy is about knowing I am with you, no matter what. Joy is feeling happy with no special reason, simply because you know I love you, I am with you, and that will never change.
I didn’t always know that. I used to think other people decided if I was happy or sad. If someone was kind, I felt good. If someone was mean, I felt bad. But today, I see it differently. I feel I can choose!
Remember what I told you in Proverbs 17:22 - “A joyful heart is a good medicine 💊”
So joy is like medicine for my heart?
Yes! When you thank Me, trust Me, and love others, joy grows inside you—like a little light that never goes out.
Wow… so even on bad days, I can still have joy?
Yes! Because I never change, and My love for you never changes.
Did You Know? 🤔
JOY is like a SECRET SUPERPOWER for your body! When you laugh or feel happy, your brain sends out tiny “feel-good helpers” that make you stronger, help you fight off sickness, and even heal faster!
A Simple Truth to Hold Onto
Whenever I forget, help me to remember this: My happiness is not in someone else’s hands—I get to choose it.
So today, I will choose joy, no matter what happens.
Amen.
Have you ever chosen joy even when it was hard? How did it feel? Share in the comments—I’d love to hear! 💛
