Joy is one of those things that I don’t usually struggle with—but when I do, I really do.
I had one of those seasons lately. I dug myself out…grudgingly, finally, groggily. Actually, I think maybe my husband pulled me out. But at any rate, I’m out! And I learned a few things along the way.
“You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.”
Write down one thing that you used to believe about joy, and what you believe now.
On a scale of 1 - 10, rate yourself in the joy category.
(1 being: “I NEVER have ANY joy in my life”, and 10 being “I am overflowing with joy to the people around me all the time”)
Identify one thing that you can do this week to get to a better rating.
