Reclaim Your Joy!

When you reclaim something, you are essentially taking back what you once had. Life has its sweet moments when everything seems to go your way: You got that scholarship you've been praying for; you win an all expense paid vacation; you marry the man or woman of your dreams; you get the promotion you working toward; cancer is in remission. But there are other moments when nothing seems to go your way. Everything that could go wrong does go wrong. When life happens, it can take away your smile, passion, wiliness love, and even your desire to live. Where does JOY fit in between those scenes in your life? Authentic Joy is a gift from God for the most difficult moments in your life. Joy is not intended to render us insensible to problems, it fits between the scenes of your life where things are not going your way. This kind of joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and works independently of your circumstances. But, you must choose to have it! We have the option of choosing any of our emotional responses to the circumstances we are facing. Why not choose JOY!
