JOY

It's amazing what God can do to your heart once you are honest with yourself and decide that life is good.
I've found myself several times this week really having the joy of the Lord. When I step back to think of everything I'm truly blessed to have, all of life's hard "things" disappear.

Psalm 126:3
The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

Job 8:21
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.


Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

Psalm 94:19
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
