“Begin to rejoice in the Lord, and your bones will flourish like an herb, and your cheeks will glow with the bloom of health and freshness. Worry, fear, distrust, care-all are poisonous! Joy is balm and healing, and if you will but rejoice, God will give power.” A. B. Simpson (1843-1919)
Joy may not cure everything, but joy makes everything better.
Good morning, Lord. Joy is comfort to my aching heart, fresh energy to my tired body, balm for my weary soul. Thank You for the joy you’ve brought to the world. Let it fill me, enlighten me, empower me, transform me. Sweep away my cynicism and negativity. Flood me — mind, heart and soul– with holy joy.
