My prayer that October morning was to feel JOY again. God works really fast!! I met my friend Janice at Ross in Rockwall. It was only a few minutes in the store and I saw it…JOY!! I thought to myself, wow JOY in October. Next, we went to TJ Maxx and again I saw it JOY….I started thinking, okay JESUS I’m seeing this. It was crazy. It was fall…Halloween should be everywhere, but God is showing me JOY. We left and went into Kirklands. There it was as soon as we walked in the store…JOY!! My friend asked me if I had noticed the “JOY” and I said yes…I prayed for it. I told her about my prayer that morning…God is God!! I asked him for something so simple, little did I know how this JOY would impact my life. JOY has changed my life..it has given me hope.
I have learned that happiness and JOY are so different. You feel happiness…JOY is not really a feeling, it’s a fact, a gift!! Happiness fades but JOY is everlasting when your find it in Jesus!!
I will choose JOY!! Will you?
